/fosxt/ Friendly Mac OS Thread

I still use El Capitan.

MacOS (hackintosh) on my computer chokes quite a bit.

Also while Pages lacks a few functions it's fucking lovely. I wish I had this on loonix or windows. LibreOffice Write is a bitch with tables and Word ain't fucking free.

>>57802247
Specs of your Hackintosh?

>>57802305
i5 4460
16GB of RAM
280x
It's installed on an SSD

Basically, animations stutter in Sierra, they don't with elcap. Not sure why as I used the same settings and did a clean install of both.

Doesn't bother me much though, some of my programs either don't have a Sierra version or they work with limited functionality now.

>>57802360
Damn.
I have an

i5
8GB of RAM
GeForce 950m
Wangblows on SSD

Should I Hackintosh?

>>57802415
It'll work fine. Maybe better than mine even, since you have the option to use different drivers.

I found a factory reset 2009 late model mac book in the bin out the back at work. It turns on so I took it home to play around, what I've found is that when I go to reinstall osx on the device it throws back an error saying "this item is unavailable, try again later " my question is can I make it work somehow, or is it just a piece of junk?

The late-model Apple TV is fucking fantastic. We've had one for over a year, and it never even blinks. Best set-top box we've ever had, and we've had a lot.

Would recommend.

If you try to place identical directories in the same parent then you will get that pop up where it doesn't allow you to merge them because why would you want to merge two of the exact same directories?

I want to hackintosh a laptop. I've been looking at a few from Dell and HP. My budget is around $300 and I don't mind buying lightly used. I want to install Mavericks. What's the best laptop I can buy for this? By best I mean most compatible. I want to do the least amount of part replacement, kext downloading, and general nigger rigging as possible. There are some guides talking about a custom BIOS or special wireless cards. Sounds like a pain. I want something that will boot a hackintosh USB drive out of the box and can install OS X with 95% of stuff working. Is this possible for 300 USD?

Pick one.

>>57812187
Mac OS X is not iOS. OS X has all of the applications I use for work along with other cool stuff like homebrew and iTerm. I also need OS X to run XCode. You should buy an old T420 and try out OS X before you make an ass of yourself to strangers who don't care about you or what you have to say. If you have questions about hackintoshing such as compatible hardware, post install tools, where to get kexts, etc. just ask here.

I'm thinking of grabbing a macbook 2011 as well. Sure the specs aren't that great but the fucking trackpad is a dealbreaker for me.

I found out the 2011 MacBook doesn't have the removable battery, so fuck that.

I'm not buying a real Mac. The hardware is trash. I just want the OS. Also, what part of $300 didn't quite make it through your thick skull? I have other things to buy, not just a shitty laptop.

>Hardware is trash
Start up times, fluidity, lightweightness of the OS itself (at least more lightweight than Wangblows) as well as magnificient displays and sound quality as well as build quality speak otherwise.

>Start up times
Sure, they have an SSD. Any OS will boot quickly on one.

>fluidity
No. Macs are slow as fuck.

>lightweightness of the OS itself (at least more lightweight than Wangblows)
I don't use Windows. Only OS X and Debian. Mac OS X is not at all lightweight.

>magnificient displays
They're not that good. Samshit makes the best displays.

>sound quality
Absolute dogshit. Don't lie.

>build quality
The batteries expand, they heat up and the glued together displays fall apart. They have zero water resistance. One drop and it's finished. Macs have almost no repairability. The metal is so flimsy and cheap that I could bend it with my bare hands. The fans are loud as hell and are always running.

I've used Macs before. The latest is my 2014 MacBook Air 13 inch. It's garbage. I want to hackintosh because PCs have far superior build quality at a reasonable price. Most PCs also don't have retarded screws designed to lock me out of my own computer. I refuse to buy another Mac. The OS is good, the hardware is not. Get over it.

Yeap, I bought an iBook G4 last week. I installed iWork '09........GOD TIER. The iBook G4 is the first Macintosh I have owned.

I got it for a good price on Ebay. I'm very happy with it.
