Yet I still can not use ruby on it ...

Sorry guys - Haiku is a great idea, but it needs to become a real operating system semi-advanced users can use daily. And it hasn't been at that since years.

Linux works.

What do you mean by that? It seems like there's Ruby in the packages:

No it doesn't.

It's completely okay for people who are not you to have requirements and preferences that are not yours. If you don't like HaikuOS, don't use it.

Which distro?

Linux is an OS kernel, not a full operating system.

I still need to know which distro to choose before I install it.

No need to do that with macOS or Windows, but Linux is always a problem.
