I built a Hackintosh 8 years ago. There were always lots of little things that just never worked. Every system update held the potential for disaster. Figuring out the settings for all the various bits of hardware was a nightmare. the question for me was: Do I want to endlessly fiddle with system stuff, or do I want to work? You get what you pay for.
@QuinsTechCorner7 ай бұрын
Interesting take. For me, I won’t be fiddling - one day I’ll they it to sonoma and just leave it, and I’ll clone my boot drive so I have an easy backup should it go wrong. I feel like with Apple in 2023, you don’t get what you pay for - $300 for 8GB of RAM is absurd. That said, if I did have the money to configure a modern mac to my liking, I would.

Yep, me too, it was painful & bit I the bullet years ago. My main current macs are a mini M1 base model & it’s great, I got it second hand a couple of years ago. Whilst more internal storage would be nice, I just use an external SSD. 8gb is fine too, the only time I’ve had issue was loading large Kontakt libraries, so it does have limitations. I also run parallels with ARM win 11, and this works well enough for compiling win apps, but would benefit from 16gb I think. I also have an Intel 2017 Intel MacBook i7 15" which was cheap. I like to have a dual boot system for windows sessions, working away, gaming etc… & it’s a very nice fast machine and the fan doesn’t get as noisy as earlier MacBooks I’ve had. I will never go back down the hackintosh route again, as you say there’s always something that doesn’t work properly like waking from sleep etc…

@QuinsTechCornerАй бұрын
Interesting! The 10700k is roughly 10% faster than the CPU I have in this machine, so you'll have no issues with performance. A word of caution though, these hackintosh projects are not going to be great for long-term. Apple will eventually (soon) stop building macOS for Intel, and when that happens we'll no longer be able to get up-to-date versions of macOS unless we actually have a real mac. I do agree it's pretty upsetting the way the pricing structures have been going in recent years. I love the hardware, but no longer buy anything from Apple due to this, and issues with anti-consumer policies/design.

These hackintoshes work better when you have them running in a passthru configured VM on Linux via QEMU, IMO. You still end up using OpenCore, but by just reserving 1 CPU core and the minimum amount of RAM on something like Fluxbox or IceWM for the host OS, you get so much more. You can set up cheaper mechanical drives or SATA SSD's as storage on the host OS for network storage useable to any PC on your network, you get snapshots and backups of your Mac OS in case anything should go awry with your hackintosh configuration or if an OS update borks anything. OpenCore has allowed hackintosh to come a long way from what hackintoshes were before OpenCore existed, in terms of stability and viability, but the potential for things to just bork still exists, even in an actual Mac, so I still like to take precaution.

This is so dumb. I have NEVER used some bench tests nor do they offer REAL performance proof. One person runs DAW with 36 tracks going, and someone else uses the same DAW with 12 plug ins, and bench testing does not account for anything. So what is the PRICE of the Mac over the $350 PC????? Does that price offset the extra 150 watts per year?NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Linux has better Apps than you think. Many simply don't have the interest or wherewithal to learn about them. Interestingly enough MacOS is build on the same Unix file structure as Linux.

If you hate Windows, why are you using it for games? Use Linux. I hate Apple and I don't use their products. I don't like to be limited. And I don't use Linux because they made a mess with a billion distros people made. Apple is good for productivity programs, Windows for gaming and Linux could be good at both if they didn't make a billion distros and focused developers on 3 distros from standard, professional, and server versions. 4 version could be Linux on ARM. Something I wish Windows would do for more than 10 years. And probably but sadly only Apple will succeed first.

I used linux for gaming for quite a long time, but the translation layer just isn’t perfect for many of the games I play. I also have a weird relationship with apple.. I hate them as a company but enjoy the products and software.

saying “they made a billion distros” makes you sound silly. they’re almost all based off of arch or debian/ubuntu. you act as if “linux” is a company. it’s just based off the linux kernel.

@@Pawel-rv1ek Some Hackintoshes are more expensive than real Macs, with top of the line parts. Not wanting to waste money on shiny toys isn't the same as being poor. Some like the upgradeability, some the better performance for a significantly lower price, some don't want to throw away perfectly good hardware that's sufficient for their needs. There are Hackintoshes with 14900k or 7950X and 6950XT, lots of RAM and SSD, can you build one of these without a job? I get not liking Hackintoshes, everyone decides for themselves. But why shit on people who made a different choice? Your comments only show you're an Apple fanboy who has nothing better to do than throw 12 year old level insults at people who haven't done anything bad to you.
