My question would be why not hackintosh? easy to build these days, more customizable and able to get even better performance than Apple silicon...

Does hackintosh still require custom kernel level drivers with no available source code?

  Nope, OpenCore and most drivers are open source on GitHub

You get no support whatsoever with a hackintosh and generally the people that need these computers don’t also want to spend time doing their own IT support work as well.

  To be honest, my hackintosh from the Haswell era was the most stable machine I have had; certainly better than whatever the shitshow my current machine has been with OpenSuse or Manjaro on a 12th gen intel, and slightly ahead of my 5800x machine.

Are there any good GPU options for Hackintosh? Seems like the top of the line is still based on what Nvidia and AMD were selling 5-10 years ago.

  My rx6900xt works fine through opencore and whatever red.

    Oh cool, I didn't realize modern GPUs were usable

For anyone curious, this seems to be one of the more popular easy Hackintosh-in-a-VM setup projects these days: * https://github.com/notAperson535/OneClick-macOS-Simple-KVM https://github.com/notAperson535/OneClick-macOS-Simple-KVM Works "out of the box" on Ubuntu, and apparently on Windows too thought I've not tried that. I've used it on Ubuntu occasionally when trying to diagnose intel specific macOS weirdness for a side project, when the weirdness doesn't show up on the M1 mac mini.

If you need your machine for $DayJob, you're not going to trust that to a hobbiest solution. And now that the transition to Apple Silicon is complete, don't expect future version of macOS to have an Intel version for much longer.
