Why This Matters
The availability of Haiku OS on M1 Macs marks a significant step in expanding the operating system's hardware compatibility, especially on Apple's ARM-based architecture. This development opens new possibilities for developers and enthusiasts to experiment with Haiku OS on cutting-edge hardware, fostering innovation and diversity in the OS ecosystem.
Key Takeaways
- Haiku OS now supports M1 Macs, broadening hardware compatibility.
- Current nightly images lack essential development tools like git and gcc.
- Further updates are needed to facilitate userland hacking and development on ARM64.
Are nightly images "Bootstrap image"s or “unbootstrapped” ones from? I want to know how can I make a hacking environment on an ARM64 nightly.
There are no git, gcc or any development packages in the current nightly images. Are there any guide to set up build and test other packages?
Or recent imaged is just started booting to Desktop, but there are many fix to the OS before userland hacking?
