Hey /g/.
After getting bored with Linux shit, I've been doing some "hackintosh" (stupid fucking name) work, and have honestly been having a lot of fun with it. I like the challenge it presents on certain hardware, and it's nice to be the first person to document how to get all features working on a previously "incompatible" model of a laptop/motherboard. I tend to just hang out in the discord and help people that come by, they have some issues with kernel panics or something like that, and since the variables change from person to person it just feels like a constant challenge. It's fun for me to dig through people's bootloader files and find what's causing the error after they send me their build info.
The thinkpads are always fun to get, they're well-documented already but still can require some serious knowledge to get running 100%. Some models can practically run OOB, but some can't even get to the installer. Those are fun to figure out.
Anyway, now, my point, If I were to resell machines modified like this, can I get in some legal shit for this? Would apple just completely buttfuck me if I sold these things on a website or something? Like, modified hardware on a laptop pre-installed with open source code allowing the installation of macOS?
It really sucks to be so good at something that there's such a high demand for. I'm sure someone else has already tried this, and have gotten shut down, but just wondering if this is even possible with some precautions taken.
pic kind of related? G5 cases are cheap and easy to modify to sell as proper hackintosh cases, kind of cool.

i remember getting it set up finally after so much fucking work (tried before, failed, tried again, realized that my audio interface didn't work when plugged into usb 3.0) and then just never using it because i would always go back to windows.

Been the opposite for me. I had it on a 300gb SATA drive to fuck around with at first, then spent a couple days getting everything working, then just simply never got off of it. My 1 TB windows disk wasn't ever getting booted into because I had found alternatives in OS X to my programs that I actually liked better.
I just recently moved this installation to my 1 TB drive, and am re-installing windows on the 300gb SATA drive for gaming or specific programs. I still use FL Studio on Windows and the OSX version is practically just a wrapper, so I don't see the point.
Booting from either is possible while on OSX/Windows if you configure the bootloader properly, it feels pretty seamless to click something and be in Windows in about a minute, then doing the same to go back to OS X.
Maybe it's just the terminal, or over all GUI, I don't know, but it's just stuck with me. Like I said, opposite of you, really don't have a reason to go back to Windows considering everything's configured the way I like it already.
I get that though, I know a lot of people who did the same with Linux. Installed it but just never, ever, booted into it.
