This month in Haiku: a lot of bugfixes and little improvements… oh, yeah, and the ARM64 port boots to the desktop (in QEMU, at least)! https://www.haiku-os.org/blog/waddlesplash/2026-04-13-haiku_activity_contract_report_march_2026/

FOSDEM (@fosdem@fosstodon.org) ’25 is this coming weekend, and Haiku will be there! Look for our stand in the “K” building, and say hello to @pulkomandy@mastodon.tetaneutral.net, @mmu_man@m.g3l.org, @begasus@mastodon.social, and the other volunteers representing the project.
💡 Have a custom keyboard layout? Configure it in Haiku using the Keymap preferences: drag & drop to swap keys, drop in special characters from CharacterMap, etc. More details: https://www.haiku-os.org/docs/userguide/en/preferences/keymap.html
💡 Did you know? You can open paths & links from command output in Haiku’s Terminal by holding the Command key (usually ‘Alt’) and then clicking on them. (It even handles line:column suffixes!)
New to Haiku, or been a while since you’ve used it? Consider taking a trip through the “Quick Tour”, an introduction to Haiku in less than 20 slides. https://www.haiku-os.org/docs/welcome/en/quicktour.html
