Huh. When did avoiding tonymacx86 become a thing? I built my first Hackintosh in 2010 and relied on tonymacx86 but I haven't paid attention to the community since 2014-onwards.
- kristofferR 6y agoThere's a ton of great advice on Tonymacx86 and InsanelyMac if you keep your tongue straight in the mouth, but also a ton of mediocre and even bad advice (like using their "helpful software"). Not to mention the petty conflict between the two sites. In general you're much better off following advice from the Github guides, /r/hackintosh and Discord channels.
- tinco 6y agoI haven't run a Hackintosh in over 5 years but there was this transition, it used to be necessary to install custom kexts and do some pretty weird stuff. Then came these uefi bootloaders that did some magic that let you install just fully vanilla MacOS. Pretty great but it basically made all the old guides and advice obsolete. I bet avoiding the old names can keep you out of trouble, even if they're probably still pumping out good stuff.
