Literally my main OS right now. I boot into Winshit when I need to gayme and do brainless shit like that.

>>60073683
>The only non-Winshit OS that has mainstream application support from major devs like Adobe

What's not to like?

because aside from

>muh font rendering
>muh scaling

there's literally nothing that macOS does better than windows. every single bit of productivity-related software available for the mac has an equal or superior counterpart on windows, with the advantage of actual 3rd party support.

Nice try pajeet

>>60073780
How about battery life improvements?

>>60073707
Window full screen control/lack of snapping is retarded

When saving/opening you can't edit the files in the folders

Can't stand the hardware's lack of number pads

General dislike due to change averse mindset and lack of use in the past several years

>>60074219
I have a MacBook Pro for mobile work (2014) and it works fine desu. Battery life is decent for a laptop. About 3hrs on full use and like 5 if its just browsing.

>>60074241
Works fine for me. Sierra added window to window snapping. I use BetterSnapTool to mimic the Winshit "snap" and it works fine desu.

I use a Mac wired chiclet keyboard and it has a numbad. Works fine desu.

My display is a 27" Apple display (they discontinued it) and it works fine too.

I also use the Hackintosh for Windows and all works fine.

>>60073683

oh and who can forget, you can only have the real thing on Apple's own hardware because their code monkeys are so bad they can't make an OS that's actually fast, that can actually function on hardware not specifically designed around how bad their MIT monkey nigger brains are.

is there an alternative to multibeast?

>>60076690
Yes multibeast is some jew tool by tonyjewmac where he makes a ton of money on dumbasses who buy shit with referral links from his forum. It's the wrong way to do it

Google vanilla hackintosh to get a start. It allows you to update without issues.

Never had a need to use a Mac OS, why bother now?

>>60076128
You seem very angry john.

Are you too poor?

>>60076755
You don't know you want it until you try it.

Everyone I know that has ever built a hackintosh or bought a real Mac never goes back to any other OS.

That's why hackintosh communities exist because people love macos.

>>60076823
This, I love Mac OS, but I hate nowadays apple hardware.

>>60076721
>>60076721
where do i download a version of mac os x?? can i take it from my macbook?

>>60076936
Download it from the App Store on your macbook and it will be in the Applications folder when finished

>>60076936
Download it from appstore, then use unibeast to make bootable installer. After that you just find the kext for your hardwares.

>>60074135
you didn't try at all

>>60076985
>>60076993
what happens if my macbook's wifi is broken?

>>60077088
Does it have Ethernet ? Get a cheap $10 usb wifi stick.

You need a real Mac to make a bootable USB.

Another way is through a vm but that's a pain.

>>60077088
Use WiFi cable to access the appstore maybe? Or you should just buy USB WiFi, dwa131 is my recommendation though.

>>60076812
I'm too polite irl so I make up for it by being an asshole online. blow me.
my mom has always had macs which I've used occasionally, but my dad gave me my first computer (an old one he built) when I was ~5 which had red hat on it so I've always preferred linux but mac is still really shit.
sometimes I like to make videos or music and I don't need Apple to "set me up". I torrented windows for my desktop and I can just yar har video/music production software for it because the software makers ask for too much money and I'm a NEET.

The fucking corded keyboard, which I can live with, but for fuck's sake man, cut a hole in the desk and feed the cable through it, that looks so fucking ridiculous having that wire so blatantly visible. Least you could do is the hole and clean that mess up, I mean really.

6/10 is the best I can do because of that, -3 points just for that one hideous mistake.

Ok keep using NSAWinshit because you're a degenerate.

Your mom is obviously cooler than you.

>>60077624
That's not my setup you degenerate. The point is you can build your own and not use Lelnux or Winshit.

>>60077646

You seem angry.

>>60076721
Wait, vanilla installs don't break with updates? I haven't done anything with hackintosh since installing snow leopard on my netbook.

>>60077718
Alot has changed since then, with clover updates almost always work straight from the app store, only thing you might need to do is update clover beforehand

>>60077718
See
>>60077917

Pretty much. If all your kexts are in EFI, you just need to keep Clover up to date before updating and of course see if theres nVidia drivers available before updating.

I've gone from Yosemite > El Capitan > Sierra with upgrades, no problem. And also incremental updates.

>>60078135
Nice. I should try it out with my desktop. My mainboard seems to be used in quite a lot of hackintosh builds. (Gigabyte H97N-Wifi)
I just need to get a new SSD or something.

>>60077718
>>60078180
Addendum:
Is "vanilla install" the same as installing using clover? I'm just starting to get back into it and it seems like clover is a bootloader that lets you boot an unmodified (vanilla?) OS X. Is this correct?

>>60078180
Those older boards work well. Its the newer stuff thats troubling like z270 shit.

Use 14,2 iMac config and youre good to go.

>>60078238
Vanilla just means not using shitty Multibeast after installing macOS....

Because it patches system files and generally is a shitty way of doing it. Tonyfagmac makes a ton of money from people who visit his forum and post and download his tools.

I'm not against using Multibeast, but vanilla is better. Just find the right kexts and youre set. Also use AppleALC for audio so no need to patch.

Google around for your board and see what kexts and config files ppl are using and it'll be an easy setup Just the other day I set my friends up and it only took like 1 hour total cuz I found someone elses files and just edited the config file.

FYI you will always need clover...it just makes your macOS partition bootable and emulates some shit. Clover is not made by tonymacfag.

Also youre ok with using Unibeast from tonyfagmac to make your bootable USB, just dont use Multibeast.

i wouldnt mind to build a hackintosh, i really like macos since its a unix with a decent DE unlike loonix

but mac hardware is so bad...

Well Aplel aknowledged this a few weeks ago. Which is rare cuz they're dicks.

Get a real mac
download from mac app store for free

or find a torrent for 10.12.14 but it might have some backdoors in it or some shit i dunno.

but u will need a VM to make the USB key

Idiot.

Also it's MUCH easier than any Lelnux distro desu senpai. Also it's fun to set up.

>>60078365
I know X99 is supported. There are guides on tonymacfag see if your board is supported.

Just skip the Mutlibeast thing and do vanilla instead.

>>60078365
Also make sure your CPU is supported. I know some i7 E CPUs arent but just double check.

Yeah, but when linux is pure trash that cannot use hi res displays or even my portrait mode display without bugs (fucked up cursor scaling, apps think I am running 1920x1920 and similar bullshit). My android phone with 7.1.1 is not recognized in mtp mode then it makes me go hmmmmmm.
Maybe I will built hackintosh soon.

Also Windows is not unix so into trash it goes.

>>60078460
Ubuntu was eZ to install. Probably easier than windows.
Fun to set up ixdeh
Shut up you cunt.

>>60078555
Not just that, but macOS is the only REAL alternative to Winshit in terms of actual mainstream usage.

Just the fact that Adobe stuff is supported and music apps makes it a viable option.

Oh also it has great multi-display support. Do it m8.

Get a decent 10x0 GPU and you're good to go.

Windows is just better.

>>60078562

Just for the fucking name I wouldn't touch it.

There is zero mainstream app support.

Go kys and keep using LolBreh Office. Maybe you're just a super edgy neckbeard.

It's one fucking app you moron. I could live without it, but it's helpful.

I use Clover to boot into macOS or Winshit, so you are wrong again.

I only use Winshit 1% of the time per week.

So glad I don't have to touch that cow dung daily.

I ran linux based oses for 4 years without touching windows and you cant do it for a week?

>>60078590
I take it I need a Mac to be able to create the stuff needed for installation?

>>60078644
Because for gaymes there is no other OS than Winshit you idiot. Do you even read what you wrote before posting?

I meant to say 1% of the time maybe once a week per month. I rarely gayme anyway.

I spend like 18 hours a week in Adobe apps so I can live in macOS without a problem.

VM

>>60078651
Just dont. When you have macos installed then what? Windows is fine for 100% the stuff you use your computer for.

>>60078651
Yeah you need a real Mac to create the boot USB key (needs to be at least 8GB in size).

Or you can use a VM, if you have no access to a real Mac.

https://techsviewer.com/install-macos-sierra-vmware-windows/

Maybe in the future they'll make this step easier without a Mac.

>>60078664
100% that if he installs macOS he will never use Windows again.

People fall in love with macOS. It's just the way it is. There's a reason why people are willing to go through all this trouble to build Hackintoshes.

>>60078668
why we can't just create a usb and then copy the image and upload it so you don't need to have a Mac to do Hackintosh?

>>60078659
>he cant run games in osx

>18 hours a week in Adobe apps
That kinda explains why you are so aggravated.

>>60078679
Because you need to use a tool like Unibeast (mac only) to create a bootable USB key. It actually injects Clover into the USB key to make it bootable on a non Mac computer.

>>60078683
I mean 18 hours a day..I work as a graphic designer.

You seem really angry.

>>60078696
Pajeet?

It's because you have ashy hands like a nigger.

>>60078686
and why i can't clone a USB key that already have Unibeast and the clover bootloader and send it to a friend in a .vhd or .iso or something?

>>60078696
you're literally too dumb for macOS

>>60078701
You actually could. Get a friend to make you one, then ask them to make you a clone ISO and then on your end just make a new one.

In theory it should work.

Just make sure they use something like CloneZilla to make a bit for bit image because the USB key will have 2 partitions, one of them is a hidden EFI partition.

>>60078702

its simple MacOS is not Windows

>>60078725
Because Adobe has a monopoly on the software and literally if you don't use their shit you will make $0.

InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop are all essentials.

Not delusional. Very happy actually.

I jump between my MacBook Pro and my Hackintosh day to day without issues :^)

I threw the stupid PC box behind my desk so I don't see it because I care about A E S T H E T I C S

WoW works great on macOS you will like it. I play rocket league sometimes under macOS and it works fine.

I hate these guys but this is a good place:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/unibeast-install-macos-sierra-on-any-supported-intel-based-pc.200564/

Try to find a guide thats similar to your mobo.

Only do the steps until you reach Multibeast. Skip Multibeast (which literally installs kexts and patches your system files).

After you install macOS, run Clover manually and make your macOS bootable.

Next you will need to individually find kexts and config file for your system. This will take some time to perfect. I use the Vanilla method here:

http://osxarena.com/2016/09/install-macos-sierra-hackintosh-pc-vanilla-installation-method/


So basic steps:

1. Make USB key on a real mac with Unibeast (Tonyfag link is helpful).
2. Install with their guide and then install Clover from their official site to make macOS bootable.
3. Find correct kexts and config file and edit it to suit your need (I do it manually) or use Clover Configurator.
4. Enjoy
(make sure to make a clone of your macOS when its fully working just in case). I use CloneZilla its free.

Only apps that are consistent on both macOS and Winshit are Adobe apps. But like I said font management is terrible in Winshit.

Should I go on? I have a lot more.

>>60078827
at least it's not gay

>>60078826
Oh btw if you have nVIdia their drivers can be found on the tonyfag forum.

You usually install their drivers after your first successful boot into macOS. Also you have to install EnuVar64 or whatever it called in Clover (very important) and add the nVidia line (found on Tonyfag forum) into the config to make it fully work.

It may see daunting but its fun to do.

Have fun!
