Hi I’m new to Haiku. I’ve installed it on my Mac Studio M2 on UTM and I like it! 
It also seems to run very smooth except Internet. It is very slow, almost unusable. Is that because of the x86_64 emulation? Or are there any options in UTM that I have to change?
Thank you very much for the help!
Give it at least 4 cores and 2MB of memory to play with. More is better.
I have 3 VMs set up like that to make videos and that generally works well. But to make videos about the new Firefox-based browsers I had to push that VM to 6 cores and 4 MB, just to get things acceptably quick.
Thanks! It already was on 4GB Ram but no cores. I tried with 4 cores. It’s much better now, but still slow. YouTube works but not fluent and no sound. Used the Falkon browser. Turned the cores up to 6 but this didn’t help.
Not really. You’re using a computer to pretend to be a different kind of computer, to run an operating system, to run an application. Meanwhile the host computer’s own OS has to keep going as well. There’s a lot of things happening, and each of them is slurping resources, It’s always going to be slow.
A functioning ARM version of Haiku would speed things up considerably, but ARM is not like X86. There are subtle differences between ARM computers that have to be accounted for.
I used the 64 Bit version. Does it matter whether you use the 32 or 64 bit version?
32 bits allows to run old software binaries made for BeOS. Other than that, there is no advantage unless you have a 32 bits PC.
What ethernet card are using in VM? It’s recommended to use e1000.
