I've been using a Hackintosh for the last 7 years. (For work)
At most I've spent a day to get some quirks of new hardware to work, but all of the 3 upgrades I've done throughout the years has basically worked directly.
And with Clover bootloader, it's even easier than it's ever been.
The key is to pay attention to what hardware to use, the tonymacx86 buyers guide is great for the most part but sometime the recommendations are too early so you might have to live with a few quirks like USB testing and limiting.
Right now I'm using an Gigabyte Z170-HD3, Intel i5 6600K, 32GB DDR4, 1x M.2, 6x SSDs and 2x HDDs and Nvidia 1080 Ti without a hitch.
I'm even using MacOS on my new HP Envy 13 without any issues.

Now with additional features which run on ARM chips and custom hardware complementing macOS more and more, it's going to become increasingly untenable to replicate the full experience going forward. TouchID & TouchBar with BridgeOS on the MacBooks was the first step. Hey Siri on the iMac Pro is the next rung up. How long until we see FaceID on the Mac, or much further down the road, macOS running on ARM?
- vonseel 9y agoMy current Macbook has TouchID. It's just about the most useless thing they could do to a programmer's keyboard. The keyboard action sucks too. I wanted to go with the most recent release though, so I kept it. ::message typed from a glorious clicky-clicky keyboard with well broken-in MX blues::
