So my question is, why is this posted in a Linux community? It has nothing to do with Linux.

It's close enough, it's way too niche for a full comm on its own. If it's close enough for Phoronix to write an article for it, I'd argue it's close enough for this comm

By that logic, any OS that isn’t windows or Mac is “close enough”. 🤷‍♂️

I love Haiku but this is a reasonable question

I’m a fan as well. Also if you like it check out Action Retro’s videos about it. Fun stuff.

They need to tackle the mess they made when they filled the filesystem with whatever that file structure is

I am not familiar with it; what do you mean?
