Who cares. Do you have "official" support with Winshit?
Also if you're good with Terminal and Unix environment you'll be fine. macOS is a very simple yet robust operating system with no fluff like Winshit.

>Kext breaks down ayy lmao
Not if you're smart enough by not using Tonyfag tools like Multibeast.

All my kexts are in the EFI partition and nothing breaks. I have a perfect setup with macOS Sierra 10.12.4 and a cloned SSD just in case of shit.

>Expect a kernel panic on the next update
Nope. I've done direct OS updates 5 times in a row with zero issues.

>Why do people use Hackintosh, again? Why not just buy a Mac instead?
Because it's a superior operating system for productivity.

>>59779394
>Why not just buy a Mac instead?

Forgot to answer this.

I have a MacBook Pro for mobile work.

I had a 12 core Mac Pro about 3 years ago. I need a fast desktop and Apple has nothing for me at the moment. I need my CUDA cores.

Only issue I've had is audio not working when doing uodates. It was too much of a hassle so I just use a USB sound card and it just works.

I took a new job a couple of years ago and had to use a MacBook Pro. I hated having such different keyboard short cuts on my Linux rig at home so I gave up and installed OS X on it.

Nice anon.

For the audio, use AppleALC and put it in the KEXT folder on your EFI partition and route your config file to the right ALC audio.

This way you don't patch anything...because with most macOS updates, the audio kext is rebuilt.

If you do this, you can do upgrades with no hassles.

Also a cheap USB audio card is a good solution as well.

Installed El Capitan on my cube i7 stylus chinktab. Used some Iraqi dude's clover config and kexts. Bluetooth, sound, Wacom digitizer not working, but everything else is good

Been using macOS for almost a year now on my desktop.

It's pretty comfortable to use overall. At first I had a little bit of trouble getting around a few problems such as NTFS support but right now, and with a magic trackpad, thing works mighty nice. I can't find a reason to go back to Windows other than games, and on Linux it's a pain in the ass to set up VNC/Google Drive in a human way.

I switched back twice to Windows on my thinkpad X220 because the trackpoint ain't that amazing in macOS, but I'm having trouble getting Windows 7 to use an external monitor while the lid is closed so I might just switch back, who knows.

>>59780851
Not me. I see this as an opportunity for newer hardware support on hackintosh, however I really don't think it's gonna be exactly what people want. For Apple to get good they gradually have to get unfucked and that will take years.

>>59779394

>>59779277

stop being poor and get a real Mac. I don't know how hackintosh users tolerate 1 kernel panic every 3-4 weeks.

>>59781699
Power stepping worked under ElCap, and sleep more or less did too (it was finicky so I never used it). I think I did use some kind of script to generate states. Do I need to redo that?

Macs are overpriced and use a generation old hardware even if you dont mine getting jewed. And they are even further behind then that right now. The devs at apple use them. You cannot buy a descent mac. Which is fucked because their niche has traditionally been video and image editing and that needs muscle.

Google Vanilla Sierra Hackintosh.

You basically just need Clover and FakeID.kext or whatever it's called and someone's config file, or just write from scratch.

Multibeast is shit because it patches files and that means with every OS update it breaks audio and other issues.

>>59781743
I have a real Mac.

Only reason I did a Hackintosh for a desktop because I needed something newer than the cheesegrater.

And also it doesn't hurt to be able to boot into Winshit with a good GPU.

Also updates are fine, no problem. And no kernel panics FYI.

>>59782229
99% of what I do for work is in macOS.

Only time I need Vulkan and other gay shit like that is under Winshit, which I have a second SSD for it and I can boot (it takes like 10 seconds dude calm your tits).

>>59782822
Yeh it's better to check Tonyfagmac to see what people are using as compatible and buying based off that -- but skip their shitty Multibeast tool and do a vanilla install, which is harder, but more fun if you like tinkering.

Once you have a perfect system going, just put in a second SSD and clone that drive with a CloneZilla USB key so you have an exact bootable SSD clone in case of shit.

How to do this?

>>59783806
Other than it having the best user experience you mean?

>>59784507
You just scour the web for other peoples systems that are similar to your mobo/gpu config and copy paste code with a plist editor. You don't need to use Clover Configurator (at least I don't).

check this site, theyre all about vanilla installs and theres a discord and theyre pretty helpful.

>>59785344
Well that's just it anon. When I google it, I find many guides- but they're all poorly written, and they all say to do slightly different things without explaining why or what the difference is. And the official Clover docs are basically a reference volume for people already deeply familiar with the area. So I'm left pretty much guessing at how to configure it.

>>59785406
>t. mactoddler

Why are all the tools needed to create a hackintosh (Clover installer, CCC, or indeed Multibeast etc) OSX-only? As far as I can see they don't do anything that really requires them to run on an OSX host. Wouldn't it make more sense for them to be cross-platform so that you don't need an OSX machine to make an OSX machine?

>>59785596
>t. mactoddler

>>59779277

I would have a hackintosh if I had a suitable Laptop like a Thinkpad T420. At the moment I have a Thinkpad x60s, an iBook g4, a 2006 iMac and a P4 Thinkcentre.

>>59785260
It works fine, but what I'm saying is you need to do the research yourself there isn't an "easy" method, besides Tonyfagmac, but it has downsides like I mentioned. It patches the audio kext and you will lose it on every OS update.

You lazy fuck, go google.

>>59785285
Things are way easier now.

You basically make a bootable USB, install the OS, and then make the OS bootable with Clover and the rest is doable via simple research. You just need to put a few KEXTS in the EFI partition to make sure the C-States are correct and the SSDT is correct for your CPU...and also your audio kext.

>>59785406
Maybe you can use Tonymacfag Multibeast on your first hackintosh and later you can do vanilla?

There's a learning curve.

>>59785596
It's always preferred that you have a real Mac to get a Hackintosh working. There are ways to do it without it, but it's a bit of a hassle.

I've only used Linux for the past decade, never had mac os or a mac computer. So was the best option to get around this obstacle?

It's better than Microshit.

Apple makes money from hardware not software.

Microshit makes money from mostly software so they have an incentive to sell your data.

Jewgle is worse and you virgins love Gaydroid for some reason.

You're a fucking degenerate. Go install Little Snitch and see what macOS tries to contact. It's nothing major, mostly analytics on Apple's servers.

Now try to do the same with Winshitspy and come and talk to me then.

Fucking uneducated moron.

You mean Microsoft's Azure servers? Even Apple knows what to use for real work while selling their own fruity toys. :^)

This is all its good for. I assume I'll be able to buy a kaby lake and a 1000 series card, or an AMD card if those will work and make a nice hackintosh.

I've used linux based OS's for 16 years and have not seen a kernel panic, ever. Nor has an update ever broke my OS.

How to fix the font rendering when hooked on your usual 1080p monitor? The font rendering is a blurry mess when not on retina display.

Had Mac OS 10.6 on it. Lost it because I force quit or something while emptying the trash or something. Installed Windows XP on it. Lost that somehow. Finally ended up installing Elementary OS on it. Might consider installing Mac OS back on it at some point.

Do you have tiny hands?

There were some command line options for font rendering. Other than that, they are more focusing on what looks great on Retina screens...
