Every person trying to hackintosh *needs* to watch this video. Thanks for telling me the pros and cons of hackintoshing. Finally, I decided against it because I am not a person who knew everything about my computer when I bought it. I am just going to stick to Windows as there are only a few things that I needed from MacOS and it is not worth the trouble [for me]. Thanks a LOT Brandon!!!

Fellow laptop hackintosher here, and I fully agree with your comments in this video. Desktop hackintoshing is definitely more straightforward in a lot of ways, there are less kexts and SSDTs you need to use, stuff like understanding battery patching or dealing with a non-functional trackpad can't set you back and dualbooting is much easier because most laptops only have space for one drive, while desktops can hold way more. If you're unsure about hackintoshing and want to try it out in the simplest way possible, then do it on an Intel desktop PC.

You’re very wise for your age. The problem with Hackintoshing is the amount of time one must put into it to make it work. Every computer is different and there’s not one particular guide where size fits all, and frustration kicks in, so I don’t mind people asking for help, what I don’t like is how Apple quits supporting their older computers after 7 years or so, they’ve had so many different OS’s I have lost count. I was once in a fisherman‘s club and the instructor said, listen if you think it’s cheaper to go out to the ocean and catch your own fish than buying fish from the fish market, you’re losing your mind, don’t buy a boat and don’t buy the equipment and the rigs and all that, because it’s much cheaper to buy fish from the supermarket as opposed to burning fuel all day and all that, now if you’re in it for the excitement, well that’s a different story. For Hackintosh, if you’re not doing it for fun and learning, it’s not worth doing it, it’s much cheaper to go out and buy a Mac or a Mac mini. I’ve been using a hackintosh on a nice build for 9 years using Mavericks. Unfortunately, my browsers won’t update any longer and I can’t watch Netflix this year on any of my Browsers.

I thought about it and hit all the software and files ready, but then, I came to these conclusions: - There is nothing that I need or miss from a Mac - I love a good challenge, but if it is not reliable and other apps may also fail, I don’t have the time for that. - It’s an Apple. And they love forcing their ways onto you. - Windows, Linux and Unix have and do everything that I need.

Hey Brandon, I was hoping to get some advice. I first gotta let you know how much I appreciate what you're doing. It's refreshing to hear an expert be so encouraging, yet so straightforward about the dangers and effort involved in pursuing their expertise. Please keep educating! Now, to the advice..... I've always used Mac - never touched Windows until now (just built my first pc). I am constantly video editing and doing music production on my Macbook for my company and have made serious strides just through streamlining my workflow. My question: Would you say that Hackintoshing would be a productive decision for me? My appeal for Hackintoshing is purely about familiarity. Is saving myself the time it takes to learn a new operating system a good reason to Hackintosh? I'd love to hear your advice. Again, thanks a ton for everything you've taught me already!

About single thread performance you are half right. Smt provides a 25% (intel) to 35% (amd) performance boost. You can disable smt and gain about 5% to 10% more performance since smt is not using that power. Smt was invented to fix some efficiency.

This is an amazing video and everybody attempting to hackintosh (beginners) should watch this video. Being lazy is something that none likes whatever the situation but being lazy here can result in awful sitiuations. Things like Narish and Oralia just compile a bunch of configs, SSDTs and kexts into one image which means they have done the work for you. It's like trusting your dumb classmate todo your homework - Facts probably won't be right at all or plagirised from the internet. But with "pre-made" MacOS images for Hackintosh that's a virus that can spread across networks. *Just watch this much needed guide and don't use "pre-built hackintosh images*

In the video, I was not saying asking for help is bad by any means. But it feels like a lot of people just want the easy way in, to _always_ rely on others' premade efi's, simple hackintosh tools, etc. For example, one of the things I mentioned in the video was, if you don't know things like your cpu generation and you can't be bothered to search various details up, then you shouldn't be hackintoshing. It doesn't mean that you can't research those things and learn, but a lot of people just want to jump in without any knowledge of what they're doing.
