Haiku is what grew out of the ashes of BeOS. And if you’ve never heard of that, you’re no worse off. It was another Unix-alike that was neither Linux nor BSD which showed early promise but didn’t gain enough traction.
The BeOS command line command set were all borrowed from or based upon Unix and/or Linux (IIRC many were straight from GNU), which is the basis for my comparison.
The kernel and graphics were all from-scratch and radically different from Linux, sure, but the same could be said of Linux when compared to the original Unix, or any of the BSDs.
Granted, I don’t know what Haiku is, but surely it can’t be more independent and niche than TempleOS?

When was BeOS and Haiku UNIX-alike?
Very different beast, as far as I understand.

TempleOS is unusable and mostly ran for fun or respect to its creator.
Haiku can work for your regular browsing/document work, although the question of “why?” remains.
