24-core CPU and I can’t type an email

The Amiga didn't have multiple address space so that's cheating.. I've never used an Amiga but BeOS was really much more responsive than either Linux or Windows but that was before SSD and multiple cores were available so maybe now the difference would be much less noticeable.. There is Haiku (in alpha or beta) but AFAIK it hasn't any native modern web browser..

Depends on what you mean by "modern", I guess? https://www.haiku-os.org/files/get-haiku/webkit.png

WebKit is modern yes but it isn't really "BeOS native"

It uses native APIs for drawing, text layout, media playback, and HTTP. I don't know how much more native you want...

WebKit wasn't designed for BeOS so I'm not sure that using native API to draw is enough to make it a real native BeOS..
