I used to work on a hackintosh, the support is impressive on tonymacx86. https://www.tonymacx86.com/ https://www.tonymacx86.com/ ReHabMan is just amazing. It's even easy to get started with all the tutorials. Indeed, the problem I was getting was with nvidia support, mini-display port, multi display in general, video drivers, hybrid video (integrated + discrete card), etc. Everything else was working a bit too well. It's sad that this is not legit, the community is really awesome. At least this nvidia move with drivers is a good news for the users in general I suppose. I personally worked on windows back in the days, discovered MacOS, moved to ubuntu, hated all the PPAs, missed the tools I had on mac so gave hackintosh a try, wasn't legit and had lots of troubles with nvidia, moved to arch linux, struggled with lack of nvidia support too (ironic isn't it?) but turned out to work a bit better on Fedora (maybe because I got better with X11, wayland and configs in general) Then someone left at the office and I got his macbook so I moved back to MacOS (my dotfiles are now compatible on all main os and I automated my setup...). I don't think I'll switch again for a while (time consuming, it's a long trip), but this news is really tempting to move back to hackintosh. I have to admit it though, I really enjoyed Fedora :P

I've just recently installed macOS Sierra on my ASUS laptop thanks to ReHabMans tutorials, some things took me days to fix like the audio, but you always end up finding the solution in a thread made by that talented guy. The only problem I had was high RAM usage and some other things that need tweaking. edit: mic and cam don't work, this way nobody can spy on me ;)

  Can highly recommend Little Snitch as well, if you're not already using it, it's a two-way-per-app-firewall that is user friendly. You can even block Apples telemetry (Except for information sent before loading the OS).

It IS nice having Photoshop working in a real UNIX like environment.

  If Intuit, Sage, and Adobe got together they could just go ahead and pick a winner among Linux distros on the desktop. The main complaint is always that there are too many to support. Put those three on one, maybe get Activision and EA on board, and whatever they chose would be the defacto standard on the desktop.

    Steam does a good job of covering all of the Linux distros, even if you're on your own for things like Arch Linux (the community maintains a great Wiki). The only thing they need to do is fix high-DPI display support (it's broken even on Windows and there is a HUGE issue on GitHub that has been around for years now without any action being taken to resolve it, a little frustrating): https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/3492 https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/3492

      They do. I agree. It's not going to help someone who needs QuickBooks, Peachtree, After Effects, Photoshop, and other apps to work as well as on Windows. WINE is neat, but it's not a solution for SMEs to run their businesses.

        What I'm saying is that if Steam can support many distros easily, then it is certainly possible for Intuit/Sage/Adobe to as well without that much extra work than just focusing on one distro. It really comes down to just providing packages for each package manager (Deb, RPM, etc.). Linux environments aren't all THAT different at the end of the day.

ReHabMan is a legend. Together with the guy that debugs and fixes Intel CPU powersaving issues.
