>>55400269
Alright, I was literally just thinking of doing this today because Mac looks comfy af.

What's the easiest way to do this on a computer that already has a Windows/Arch Linux dual boot?

>>55400269
>constant exhaustion.
Zero exhaustion here. I kinda wish I could do more modding or something cause this shit is so smooth sailing it's not even funny. I had to tweak more on windows and that hardware is meant to be supported...

>>55400299
Easiest? Get another disk and install on it.

>>55400305
>that hardware is meant to be supported

This. The "Windows just werks" meme is just a meme. I've had better hardware support on Linux, of all things.

I've just set up everything a year ago and won't ever upgrade from Mavericks.

>>55400340
Enjoy your botnet.

>>55400360
? Mavericks is still supported. It was released in 2013, for comparison a lot of people are still using Windows 7 (2009).

Fixed.

>>55400501
It's not, though. Animations are far slower on El Capitan, though better than Yosemite.

>>55400493
Yeah, usually Apple doesn't have the vulnerability. Heartbleed as an example.

>>55400509

This is literally a heavy aluminium slab which has the pro designation in order to allow it to be become a bragging point for 'apple fans' and it is literally only purchased in the professional world by moronic startup pisslords, it is an overpriced piece of shit and it is pitiful compared to the competition, it also has a fucking gimped shit smeared bsd/fuckoldry os known as osx to fuck your shit up even further, this is a throttling cancer machine which has a fucking stupid clickable trackpad and a keyboard which has the travel of a touchscreen, I do not understand why you would desire this unless you think it makes you look less poor

So why fucking buy it?

You can pick anything from that list and be 100% good. My recommendations for things to make sure you have

>SATA 3 6GB/s
>SSD for best experience
>Intel Networking (shown on website)

It's really not rocket science. As long as your hardware is not AMD, not some rebrand of an ancient GPU, or shite motherboard components, you can just patch your USB install disk with Multibeast and be good to go.

>>55400269
New hackintosh user here. Its a pain to install, but after you get it working, its a bless.

OSX is very pleasing to use. Microsoft Office feels comfier here than in Windows. My complaints are:
- Bad performance at OpenGL (literally half the fps I get running Dota 2 on W7 or Linux)
- Sound quality is worse. That's expected since I'm not using the off board card, but it seems worse even compared to the same onboard sound on Windows.
- iTunes can't play FLAC. That's sad, because the interface is amazing and I don't have enough space to convert my collection to APAC.
- It can't write on NTFS by default, despite it being natively supported if you add the correct entries to fstab.

What do you guys mean when you say programs are comfier on osx? Are you sure it's not a placebo? What can make them comfier? I don't get it.

>>55408387
I have had a similar experience. In the end I didn't want to use it because of OpenGL performance indeed. That I had to dual boot into windows to play something as simple as gzdoom really made me reconsider.

Otherwise this OS would be fucking sweet

>>55408387
>Bad performance at OpenGL
Because Apple can't write drivers. I like OS X, but fucking hell they are bad at this. The performance is fucking ass. This is the main reason why I switched to Linux again on my desktop after almost four years of hackintoshing (my laptop still runs OS X, mostly due to the fantastic trackpad drivers).

To fix the iTunes problem, use ncmpcpp instead (you can install it through homebrew). There are guides how to set it up, and it's really fucking good once you understand how to use it, not to mention it supports all formats.

The NTFS thing is retarded. Just "acquire" Paragon NTFS or something to fix it or use fstab like you already have. As for sound quality, the Windows one might have some sort of equalizer in the driver. You can try Boom 2 and see if it helps.

>>55408431
Not really comfier, the thing is that it's perhaps more stable, has better font rendering and looks are overall more consistent unless you use really old software.

>>55408494
Tuxera has been more stable for me. I'd always get write errors while copying files from one drive to another with Paragon.

I'd use hackintosh on a laptop with a decent trackpad. The place where I wouldn't give a shit about graphics so much.

>>55408536
>I'd use hackintosh on a laptop with a decent trackpad.
The Elan touchpad driver Emlydinesh is developing is fucking amazing. Gesture compatibility, good feeling, good detection, no bullshit. Feels like a legit Apple Trackpad. The only downside is that you need to edit the configs in the .plist file which takes a few minutes (and it needs to be done for every time the kext is updated). Other than that, amazing.

>>55408583
Thanks, I'll be looking for that. I'm used to tinkering to get some shit working.

Cancer. Enjoy your babby's first hackintosh build with outdated shit kexts, basement dwelling russian backdoors and custom notification bullshit they add to your system. It is not well made, and is for uncompetent fucks who thinks their system is "running fine" when in reality it is running like shit with two speedsteps and non-working DSDT.

Clover or bust. It is easier than ever today. The only reason to ever use a distro is to create a VM to create the installer USB. There is a reason why you never get help on OSx86 community sites if you use a distro. Because they're a fucking mess and it is a fucking hell to debug.

>>55409243
Nah, no way. Those always give me issues.

>>55408387
>- iTunes can't play FLAC. That's sad, because the interface is amazing and I don't have enough space to convert my collection to APAC.
That really is sad. Always thought it's ridiculous that Apple doesn't add functionality that comes literally free for them. It's not like Apple tries to keep their OS light anyway.

Then again, it's not like FLAC is the only used lossless format. I largely listen to classical music and the retards who rip that kind of music are fucking insane. It's of course not just FLAC they use, it's also APE, Monkey's Audio, wavpack, optimFROG, like I didn't even know those existed before. All those things of course either as separate files per track or in one file with a fucking cue (which usually provide very poor tagging). So in the end if I want to have a neat collection, I need to recode them anyway. As the format doesn't really matter I choose AIFF or whatever it's called, have a file that's 50 KB bigger than whatever it was before and am done with it for eternity.

>>55409225

So you can just copy and paste these into terminal to make the iso:

hdiutil attach /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app/Contents/SharedSupport/InstallESD.dmg -noverify -nobrowse -mountpoint /Volumes/install_app

hdiutil create -o /tmp/ElCapitan.cdr -size 8g -layout SPUD -fs HFS+J

hdiutil attach /tmp/ElCapitan.cdr.dmg -noverify -nobrowse -mountpoint /Volumes/install_build

asr restore -source /Volumes/install_app/BaseSystem.dmg -target /Volumes/install_build -noprompt -noverify -erase

rm /Volumes/OS\ X\ Base\ System/System/Installation/Packages

cp -rp /Volumes/install_app/Packages /Volumes/OS\ X\ Base\ System/System/Installation/

cp -rp /Volumes/install_app/BaseSystem.chunklist /Volumes/OS\ X\ Base\ System/BaseSystem.chunklist

cp -rp /Volumes/install_app/BaseSystem.dmg /Volumes/OS\ X\ Base\ System/BaseSystem.dmg

hdiutil detach /Volumes/install_app

hdiutil detach /Volumes/OS\ X\ Base\ System/

hdiutil convert /tmp/ElCapitan.cdr.dmg -format UDTO -o /tmp/ElCapitan.iso

mv /tmp/ElCapitan.iso.cdr ~/Desktop/ElCapitan.iso

You can then use this to burn it to a dual layer dvd:

sudo drutil burn /Users/YOURNAME/Desktop/El\ Capitan.iso

That converts the DMG to a proper bootable ISO for use with whatever (VMs, Hackintoshes, etc).

OS X el capitan user here on a hackintosh modded in to a g5 case. The only problem I ever had getting this to work was the first installation. I had a 4k monitor at the time and for some reason it refused to display anything following the first apple logo before install. Hooked it up to a shitty 19 inch hp vga. Installed perfectly. Downloaded nvidia Web drivers. Has been stable for a year now.

Are AMD gpus just entirely unsupported at this point?

>>55411540
Not at all, just inferior in many cases.

Except Final Cut Pro X. A 280x is really suitable if you use that. But on the nvidia side, you have 2 options when it comes to drivers (provided by apple and web drivers by nvidia) and, like always, better opengl performance which is already fairly crappy in OSX in comparison to Linux.

You won't really have problems, just probably lower performance than you would expect. What's actually quite unsupported is AMD CPUs.

>>55411295
do you realize that your not on reddit?

>>55410956
No anon, it just means people might not care.

BTW to answer your question, you would definitely benefit from faster storage in OSX considering that an SSD just feels "normal" and not "blazing fast" with hackintosh.

But just buy one, goddammit. Even 120 will do. Those are like what, 60 bucks? C'mon nigga.

Alright, thanks.

Just working on a new build around a 480, with all the other parts I'm using looking pretty compatible according to the lists here >>55403398

I'd primarily be using OS X for audio work I'm bringing over from an older MBP, so I wouldn't mind slightly lower graphics performance all that much.

>>55411657
If I were you I'd wait until OSX 10.12 came out. I don't think the 480 is even supported at this point and that's pretty logical, but I have heard of polaris chips being put in new macs so the new macOS would -have- to support them.

>Mac Pro 2009 4,1 found in trash, flashed immediately to 5,1

500GB Samsung AHCI M.2 PCIE SSD w/ adaptor
GTX 970
USB 3.0 PCIE
3TB HGST HDD for Time Machine
Dell 4K S2817Q 28in monitor

Originally fucked up an bought an NVME Samsung Pro SSD but realized OSX doesn't have a way to boot from NVME. Kept the drive for a different project though.

Monitor was a deal ($330) and looks quite nice despite being a TN. I have the GPU in and it's still running on the HDD that was originally in it (WD Black from 2009) but that thing is failing.

Looking forward to getting the rest of the stuff tomorrow. Should be more powerful than any iMac in the current lineup (in fact even at its original specs it almost was), and give most of the Mac Pros trashcans a run for their money.

Anybody still holding out for a Mac Pro bump or for the release of an xMac sort of thing? I have a 2015 rMBP 15" which is great, but the itch for a desktop grows stronger by the day.

I've built a C2D hackintosh tower and hackintoshed a dell laptop in the past so I'm not opposed to building another hackintosh tower, but I'd have to wait for Sierra to be released if I want to use any of the new GPU releases which sucks and even then the most easily compatible option would be a 1070/1080 which is OK, but it'd be nice to have an AMD card for all the deep OpenCL integration in OS X and FCP.

>>55408387
>It can't write on NTFS by default, despite it being natively supported if you add the correct entries to fstab.
Thank microsoft for not licensing NTFS to anybody. The stock NTFS driver in OS X is reverse-engineered, which is why it's read-only. Apple doesn't want to be responsible for someone's NTFS-formatted drive exploding when plugged into a Mac.

gonna dual boot windows for gaming?

>>55414482

Thanks! I'll post some stuff here tomorrow once the rest of the stuff comes. Yeah, I'll dual boot for some gaming perhaps. I have my gaming PC for that though (i7 2600k, GTX 1070, 1440p 144hz dell s2716dg).

I have a lot more money than I do sense. I love making tech do stuff it wasn't really supposed to.

>>55414234
I use an HHKB Pro 2 with my Macbook Pro and have zero issues. Plug it in and everything just werks, just as a USB keyboard should.

Sounds like something is fucked with your USB drivers. They might not like something about the USB chipset used by your motherboard – USB 2 chipsets almost all work perfectly under OS X but USB 3 can be super flaky with some chipsets.

>>55414234
Yeah, try to plug it in other port

Hey guys, happy to see this thread.

Ok, I grabbed an Early 2008 20" iMac from salvage. It has an issue where it cant boot the OS or recovery (flashing file with question mark on it), and im trying to reinstall the OS.

When I load a bootable USB with Transmac, it boots (at least some images) but always gets stuck during install, with the drives light not flashing anymore. Should I bite the bullet and get some DVD-DLs and load it that way, or am I missing something?

Worth noting I dont have any apple stuff other than this, i only have Windows utils available.

Pic unrelated.

>>55414811
I already did that reread what I said.
>>55414799
Think you're onto something. I got it working for now by plugging in a powered usb hub to one of the USB 2.0 ports and plugging HHKB into that. For some reason the hub made the difference, because I tried plugging directly into the same port and no dice.

Also, currently trying to get Realtek ALC271x audio codec working found a patched VoodooHDA for my specific codec, is it as simple as place kext in S/L/E/ and reboot or am I missing a step? Read something about clearing kext cache but get file not found when I try running the commands

>>55415180
>Should I bite the bullet
Yes, please kill yourself.

>>55415199
Oh come on man, I thought this was supposed to be a friendly thread. If you cant help just tell me.

>>55415023
what is stopping you?

>>55415180
I don't think dvds will change anything. Try to install linux on it, or boot os x installer with verbose argument

>>55415242
I have no hands.

>>55415257
how do you eat then?

>>55414856
You must have lucked out and gotten a fairly "standard" system. In my experience the closer a motherboard is to reference specs, the better it runs OS X. Boards that do weird custom shit are the ones OS X doesn't like. Usually that means cheaper motherboards and cheap consumer laptops, but your mobo somehow escaped that fate.

>>55415184
>Think you're onto something. I got it working for now by plugging in a powered usb hub to one of the USB 2.0 ports and plugging HHKB into that. For some reason the hub made the difference, because I tried plugging directly into the same port and no dice.
Some folks with bad USB 3 chipsets just boot into BIOS/EFI and drop those ports down into USB 2 mode to fix weirdness like what you're seeing. Might want to give that a shot

>>55415249
Ah, I forgot about verbose.

Oh, i did check logs when the installer was going (tried multiple images of Leopard, SLeopard, Mountain Lion and El Capitan) and it always stops at java essentials and hangs for too long.

I'll say it again whats wrong with cleaning up the board so it's not full of cluttered repeat bullshit consumerism threads. If they must exist why not keep them contained to one thread instead of having 10 different threads arguing about linux vs windows and what graphics card to buy.

Yeah it's not perfect but I've noticed a lot more real discussion of interesting topics happening and I support that a hell of a lot more than 10 different nvidia vs amd threads

Here, lemme repost my old post

For me its how everything is neatly organized and how much stuff os x has built in. Does your de have/can it perform:
*Boolean searches
*Built-in text summarizer
*Built-in PDF editing tool
*Full emoji support
*Being able to preview video and audio without external programs
*Being able to screenshot any GUI element with shadows and other decorations
*Creating files by dragging n dropping text
*Such an advanced notification system
*All apps going with one guideline
*All apps supporting high DPI without breaking
*Quickly calculate something by typing it into search
*Built-in dictionary so you could select any word and get definition
? And that all is just a fraction of all the features in 16 years of evolution of OS X.

Xcode really isn't bad. I use it both at my fulltime job and for my hobby projects and it's rarely given me issues.

You could try Qt Creator I guess. Works well enough but doesn't feel like a mac app at all. The most lightweight option of course would be Textmate 2 or Sublime Text or vim with appropriate autocomplete plugins.

So I know this isn't a true hackintosh, but I was thinking about upgrading an 06 Mac Pro and kitting it out with a couple of the quad core Xeon x5355 CPUs and a GTX 950. Then, I'd dual boot Windows 10 and 10.11. Is this doable?

Depends? For me mavericks, because i have a non-retina screen (better font rendering or something), i like the visual style, and besides those, Mavericks and El Capitan are virtually the same. But, Mavericks would go obsolete in about 5-10 years.
My conclusion: use it while you can!

Make sure to do it in the bathroom the first time, it can be pretty messy so having toilet paper on hand is very helpful. A glass of water also helps.

>>No window snapping.
BetterTouchTool or BetterSnapTool. pirate it, the creator is a douche. also, I love Aero Snap and it's the biggest thing I miss from Windows.
>>Fullscreen is literally pants on head retarded.
it's pretty nice once you get used to touchpad gestures. but you can zoom by holding option when you click on the full screen button.
>>Changes in textedit automatically saved when closing by default.
oddly enough, this can be turned off in the system preferences in "General" and checking "Ask to keep changes when closing documents"
>>Almost no printer drivers included, I thought it had CUPS?
I usually print through Samba so I can't help you there.
>>No key command to lock OS X.
Control + Shift + Power?

you would probably spoof your SMBIOS product name/family through Clover. I've never used Clover on a real Mac though.

Yes, but expect kernel panics. You'd have to replace kernels and kexts and shit

I really like OS X, but I loathe the slowdown I experience with display scaling on my rMBP 13. El Capitan definitely helped, but it's still just not as smooth at all.

Why do you say that?

BTT used to be free, until the author decided he wanted money for it. That's okay by itself, but the bad part is older versions were programmed so that they could expire, and so everyone had to pay or they'd get the boot after 30 days.
by the way, I forgot to mention that there's other programs that act like Aero Snap, like Moom or Cinch. those are just the other two that I've heard of.

nice meme

Is it at all possible to use AMD processors with modern versions of OS X? I've got an Athlon X4 860K with a Gigabyte GA-F2A88XM-D3H mobo, and I'm curious if anyone's had success Hackintoshing with this processor/mobo.

Yes, i know someone ran Yosemite on AMD CPU with a patched kernel.
