- User got Haiku booting in UTM but experienced slow and choppy mouse movement.
- Nightly images for ARM64 are "unbootstrapped," lacking development packages like git and gcc.
- Setup haikuports by downloading a release archive to begin building packages, though package availability is limited.
- Files can be transferred from QEMU host to ARM64 Haiku guest using a FAT32 disk image attached via USB storage.
- Cross-building .hpkgs for ARM64 from x86_64 Haiku or Linux is possible, and a bootstrap image can compile development tools.
- Booted to desktop on M1 MacBook Air with 8 cores, USB functionality, but display color issues.
- Running Haiku on ARM64 native hardware like Pinebook Pro may be feasible but requires developer support for specific devices.
- Booting on Apple hardware is done bare metal via m1n1+u-boot to load UEFI images from USB.
