I did run into some stability issues with the latest 10.15.4 release. But I was not running this latest version of OpenCore (0.5.7) that supposedly works better with 10.15.4. I upgraded before 0.5.7 was released. I have a backup that I can test with before fully committing.
That being said - I had to rebuild my machine to downgrade to 10.15.3. Luckily, I had a spare backup to work off of and things are great again.
Stability and other misc notes for 10.15.3 and below:
* Stable system, no kernel panics
* Sleep does not work (it's a desktop anyway, so not an issue for me).
I don't have USB-C or TB-3 on this system. There are expansion boards for this, but since they aren't common on hackintoshes yet, you're likely going into untested waters. For example, to run the LG 5K display (TB3 only), you need a specific motherboard with a TB3 connector, a usb-c pci-e card, and a lot of frustration to get up and running. I'm sure it's a huge PITA.
> Is the experience better?
I mainly did this because I wanted to have an all-in-one machine to play the latest games with on Win10 and do work in OSX. For my daily work and coding (mostly JS/Python these days), I haven't had any issues. For the price, it can't be beat!

For my daily work and coding (mostly JS/Python these days), I haven't had any issues. For the price, it can't be beat! So it’s stable enough for pro-dev work and gaming. That’s exactly what I’m looking for. How are Xcode build times? (Or whatever IDE you use)
