Abstract
Haiku, a free software OS, includes its own desktop, largely inspired by theBeOS. While it has a quite classic look, it still has some unique features. Despite being 15 years old, Haiku still has some nice things to show off andinspire others. From x-ray navigation to multithreaded-by-default applications, Haiku is meantto be responsive even on older machines. We will also discuss how Haiku can relate to XDG standards, considering itdoesn't use X11, is not a Unix clone, and also has its share of legacy.
