hackintoshs are a giant, giant pain in the ass. I've been building hackintoshs since the close to the beginning of that scene (2009 or so) and have built around 5-6 hackintoshs, as recently as 3 months ago. It always has been and always will be a sucky experience that is a pain even for people who know what they are doing, ESPECIALLY for laptops. Most people who are technically inclined are better off just going to *nix
- fatratchet 10y agoFor laptops I agree, lots of pain, but for desktops I've never had any major issues with the last 3 Intel+Nvidia PCs I've had over the years, always worked really well. For me the only downside really is the extra reboot after an OS update every 2 months to update nvidia driver and repatch sound kext.
- igravious 10y agoThe question then must be … why do you do it?
- ylhert 10y agoI stopped. I kept going back to it because I love hacking on things and I love mac os and hate apple's markup on hardware, but I've learned my lesson at this point and will not attempt another hackintosh build.
