and I do frequently try it out but I wanted to know if anyone here has used it or is a user of it.

I have heard of it. It is an open-source "sequel" to the abandonware BeOS.
I had a BeOS boot partition on a machine for a while. It was the only
machine I had that BeOS would install on. I played with it every now and
then, and eventually replaced it with an Haiku release. I eventually needed the PC for something else, so the BeOS/Haiku partition is long gone now.

On at least one of the networks I am on, I think someone is using it as their OS of choice for their BBS.

Wow. That's awesome, BBS on Haiku.

You should maybe spin up a VM and play around with the latest nightlies
as they are great. Some crashes do occur but for me it was actually
quite seldom.

I have used it on occasion. Haiku is so under funded and under staffed. Regular Linux can do so much more.

It's not the fault of the haiku people, just a side effect of a gigantic group compared to a tiny one development wise.

I just installed it virtually about 4 months ago. I went online with it, but it couldn't recognize me network printer.

It's seriously under powered compared to Linux.

I tried BeOS back in the day and liked it. When I found Haiku OS, I was curious
and tried it as well. But I think Haiku was still in an early beta stage and some things weren't working very well yet. I think it's still in a fairly early
development stage? I think it would be cool to see something like Haiku continue
to be developed though. I thought BeOS (which Haiku is based on) was very smooth
and responsive.

Yeah. It it a small group of developers. Under powered in what way. I
guess it misses a lot of things.

I really want to try the OS out tho i have seen good things about it.

And it being linux you can fix the bugs and crap in it so its like theres no way of helping them out or unless its closed then you will need to ask them about joining them

Haiku OS is based on BeOS, which was a finished commercial product. BeOS is no longer developed anymore, since Be Inc. went out of business, but if you want to see how Haiku should look and function, perhaps you could try BeOS. It's fairly old though (from 1999-2001) and probably wouldn't work well with modern hardware.

And it being linux you can fix the bugs and crap in it so its like theres no way of helping them out or unless its closed then you will need to ask them about joining them

I think Haiku OS is POSIX-compliant, but I wouldn't say it's Linux.

I have played with Haiku a little, but stopped using it due to the lack of
software/hardware support, but I liked its look and feel.

It is... Recently they've launched a new Alpha for it... You can easily Google
its main website.
The problem is when it comes to finding apps for it.

They have HaikuDepot for it now. Don't use the alpha it is outdated. I
use the nightlies which comes with the appstore; HaikuDepot.
