I wonder if it would be worthwhile for small OS projects like this to pivot toward running on the Raspberry Pi instead of on generic PC hardware.
The downside for Haiku would be that they're giving up on the original goal of maintaining binary compatibility with original BeOS software. But that ship may have largely sailed, anyway, with the decision to go 64-bit.
The upside is that it would reduce the number of different hardware devices that they would need to support in order for people to perceive it as useful software by approximately 5,367 orders of magnitude.
(Well, that and a bunch of rework to get over to the different hardware, ofc.)
