Idk what the word for it is

Hackintosh typically refers to running not-MacOS on apple hardware? Imo this project of removing almost all of the inner guts and using effectively a Frankenstein'd collection of things to reconstitute it into laptop needs a different word.

If it were me I would choose

No, Hackintosh specifically refers to running MacOS on non-Apple hardware.

I don't think there's a word for running other OSs on Apple hardware, because it's officially supported.

Hackintosh is running MacOS on non Mac hardware.

During the time of x86 macos this was AMD or Intel PCs

Still is.

A modern Hackintosh can run macOS 15 "Sequioa" and Tahoe still has x86 support and OCLP is working on it. It will happen in time.

Looks like Windows with a very MacOS-esque theme rather than a proper hackintosh, the screenshot says Windows 11 IoT Enterprise.

For people curious, it looks like it is MyDockFinder. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1787090/MyDockFinder/

I previously had a pretty good experience with it before moving to Linux.

Scrolled down just to find this comment

I was initially so happy to see a Linux build that looked so much like macOS, but then saw windows 11 pro on the about, and died inside..

I guess that’s why it has 64 gb of ram, so that there’s 10 left for applications after windows is done lol

Indeed, is not a Mac, I really expected some old MACOS

Hackintosh refers to doing things the other way around: running MacOS on non-apple hardware. So no, this is not a hackintosh.

In a way, it’s the exact opposite
