    Was coming down the line ever since M1. I guess you could try with a arm hackintosh.

    The nice thing about the Hackintosh was the upgradability/repairability. Wishing Apple would bring some of that back.

    You could have your cake and eat it too, which is to say that you could run the Mac version of Photoshop because that apparently mattered to some people. Now, all that’s over, so if you love weird modifier keys on your keyboard and a sleek, glassy operating system, you’ll have to pay the big bucks for Apple hardware again. The Hackintosh is dead.

    I find the modifier keys to be normal. I find the ending of this article to be weird.

    Abandoned mine several years ago. Kind of a shame, they were a good option for a while for people who weren’t windows fans but didn’t want to run linux full time. Apple just doesn’t really have any offerings for people who want a desktop that’s upgradeable, but don’t want to drop the money on a Mac Pro.

    Best lil’ machine I ever had was a 10 inch Dell mini Hackintosh. Loved it, and got me through grad school .

    Uh… didn’t this happen like 7 years ago when they stopped using intel chips? Also why not just buy a pc to do this diy-adjacent bullshit? Not like you can’t get Mac equivalent (or better) hardware for literally the same price these days. It’s not 2004.

      I think they were still releasing updates for the non-Apple Silicon Macs, which meant Hackintosh was still possible.

      Also why not just buy a pc to do this diy-adjacent bullshit? Not like you can’t get Mac equivalent (or better) hardware for literally the same price these days. It’s not 2004.

      That’s what a Hackintosh is though. It’s running Mac on non-Apple hardware.
