why is it so fucking hard to find an explanation for how to install a hackintosh without a mac without it being coded in bullshit jargon? I don't give a fuck about apple's EULA, I just want a unix OS with a shred of software capability so I can use my engineering software. jesus fucking christ.
I don't have access to a mac and I never will. am I straight up out of options?
Mac virtual machine ^.^
For the initial mac shit

word, thanks for the advice. I just tried yosemite-zone and it failed to boot, seems like a common problem on win10 machiens and I dunno where to go from here. I know this isn't a tech support board but god damn this shit is frustrating, might just install mint
Just look at what Apple sells and imitate that hardware.
If Apple used Intel controllers and WiFi, get a mainboard with that as well etc.
If you bought a PC for Windows, you bought a PC for Windows.
If you want a PC for Linux, you gotta buy components compatible with Linux.
If you want a PC for Mac OS, buy a PC for Mac OS. Simple as that. You gotta deal with that fact.

gather up all your kexts and Clover and toss them in there like whatever tutorial you are using says
Boot the USB and install OSX
Boot into OSX injecting kexts from clover on the USB
copy over the EFI partition's contents to the disk you installed on
install the kexts to the system
reboot
have a working hackintosh
