I'm not suggesting you do this, for legal reasons blah blah blah, but putting together a hackintosh is pretty easy these days if you really like osx.

- matt_wulfeck 10y agoHow easy is it to maintain? Last I heard every update breaks everything.
- pavelmelnichuk 10y agonah it's not bad. Sometimes you just need to reinstall the same audio kernels, etc (depending on your hardware). There are many guides to find compatible hardware

- Tinyyy 10y agoIt’s not. You’re pretty much stuck on a static OS unless you want to spend hours dealing with various problems each update.
- kentt 10y agoI used a hackintosh for a year for development. It took a day to setup, which is of course a lot more work than for a typical osx experience. However, once setup it was better than the mac pro I was using. Might have even been more stable. Upgrades were a bit of a hassle, but not horrible.
- ekianjo 10y agoIf you can run Linux not sure what's the ultimate benefit of OSX (from a pure development standpoint).
- asenna 10y agoI moved from Linux to OSX a few years ago. The smoothness of 3-finger swiping between full-screen windows and just the smooth UI / build quality of the Macbook is what I liked the most. Also the battery life! I am now considering a Hackintosh. Don't want to put in too much time maintaining it though so still not sure about it.
