This is cool news. Given Apple’s history, there’s something rather interesting about Haiku, a BeOS clone, running natively on Apple Silicon, like stepping into an alternate universe.
On another note, while I’m grateful for Asahi Linux, Haiku, and other efforts to bring alternative operating systems to Apple Silicon, I wish Apple provided more documentation. It took the Asahi Linux team tremendous effort to get its OS running on M1 and M2 Macs, and it’s still going to be a while until we see M4 and M5 Macs run alternative operating systems. macOS is a great desktop OS, but it’s nice having diversity, especially when the hardware eventually gets unsupported by Apple.

Amazing news. Haiku is such a wonderful project, and having it run on this hardware ensures that it stays alive.
