There was a lot of discussion around the time the M1 came out about how it would be the end of Hackintoshes, but it seems the Hackintoshers just won't give up (and now they have the help of AI.)
replyhonestly i'm surprised.
replyapple still has good hardware but software feels increasingly bloated and buggy.
back in the day I hackintoshed, but now i feel like switching to asahi sometimes (or at least dual booting it) when my silicon is supported.
Hackintosh makes sense if you require to run Apple software to do something, e.g Xcode for iOS development since you cannot develop, build and publish easily without it. I am not sure if Final Cut or Logic or whatever else adjacent is still an industry standard. I'd think Da Vinci Resolve (which is even on Linux) and FL / Ableton are kings nowadays.
replyFor a brief moment of time in 2020s it was easier to just buy a Mac Mini M2/M4 than bother with a Hackintosh but now with the hardware prices on the rise you have to consider it instead of it being a no-brainer.
True. Also plenty of people using Logic and FCP for whatever reasons (because Resolve is a crufty buggy piece of Electron app, because Ableton's price is multiples of Logic, because they like their workflows etc)
replyResolve is neither Electron nor crufty and buggy, at least in my experience. Are you getting it confused with some other software?
replyYeah the reason I switched to macOS is that pretty much all my hardware was already Apple, and it just integrates so much better.
replyI did Hackintosh for a year or so as well maybe a decade ago, but that was a scary experience any time you did an OS update.
Yeah my 2012 Mac book air runs nixos. Solid hardware, refuses to die, but it got pretty slow under os x about 10 years ago and I gave up.
