                                                        If I liked using the mouse more (or if I wasn't on laptops most of the time), I could probably really get into #Haiku. It's a neat little OS, and has a workable command line, IIRC.

                                                        Just no disk encryption or even local security model (very 90s home os ;)

                                                        But something that would be fun to run in a VM.

                                                        Same goes for #SerenityOS, a Unixy OS with a windows 9x aesthetic. It also has a custom unix shell that looks kinda neat.
