AbiWord would be pretty good on Haiku
It’s in HaikuDepot as well. I did see Calligra Office too, not sure if that’s the same as KOffice or not.

Not sure how the windowing system handles support for transparency outside of Replicants (the little widgets on the desktop). However, it does have translation layers for X and Wayland, so, perhaps there’s something there.

Oh, right… it’s a taxi service through a tube underground between the airport and the convention center… not very usable by all.
It does have a decent complement of applications in the package depot - a few Firefox clones, LibreOffice, VLC, QMPlay2, a handful of trackers, some emulators and a few source ports to name a few.
Wine has been ported over as well, but you might need to compile it by hand. Not much of an issue though. That might be your in on getting commercial games running, if you game.
Packages are handled in a unique way, mounting into the filesystem, sort of like an AppImage, but mount-on-install instead of mount-on-run.
Waterfox and Librewolf are in the HaikuDepot. As for Office Suites, I think I did see LibreOffice there as well.
I love Haiku. If I wasn’t a Steam user, it’d be my daily driver.
Not Linux. It’s Haiku, a POSIX-Compatible clone of BeOS, a Media first operating system from the 90s, designed to be friendly and powerful.
I have not yet tried. I’ll give it a go later.
Update: I was unable to enable IPv6 in the settings. I’m sure there’s a way, but for now, I’m not seeing it. I’ll have to poke around with Virtualbox at a later date to see if I can make some changes or something.

The older terminology, which is still used in the API, was a lot better.
It was Guild. It was a Discord Guild. Probably because Stanislav was working on it after he abandoned Guildwork.
