Nitpicking, but... same as Linux, FreeBSD, Serenity, etc... it is just Haiku.

(when listing it among other OSes' names, no need for the qualifier).

I am actually unsure whether it's a on official naming scheme or not. Upstream website domain is haiku-os.org, which also says "Haiku OS" in the title; Same story with Reddit community dedicated to the project. Many articles mention "Haiku OS" specifically, but the wikipedia page name is simply "Haiku".

Perhaps @X547 can enlighten us about the recommended naming scheme?

Official name is "Haiku" (without "OS").
