track day bro! posted:How hard is it to get running on an AMD system? I failed horribly to get hackintosh working on my old x99 system, but I'll be upgrading to a 5900X setup at some point. I was going to try doing it the KVM route which i still might do but I guess I'm gonna need an extra gpu for that. It's really not that bad. You need to add some AMD specific kernel patches to the open core config, but that's really it. This is the go to guide for open core, and it has a section for AMD: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/ This forum/site is also dedicated to AMD Hackintosh and has been really helpful: https://forum.amd-osx.com/index.php Open core seems like a lot at first, but it's really not that bad once you go step by step.

What's the state of Hackitoshes like these days? I really want something under my tv that I could game on Windows and macOS for everything else. Is it worth it, price and reliability wise? SeANMcBAY fucked around with this message at 23:33 on Aug 3, 2021 |

You can cobble something together but AS means they'll never get an update after the intel macs EOL. Embrace the fact that you'll never do anything on a TV but use a browser and just run windows.

M1 really changed the value proposition of a real Mac. Used to be that a Mac mini or whatever was some low end Intel trash so almost anything you cobbled together yourself would be better. Now that's not so true. Killing Nvidia cards was the previous nail in the coffin. I bought a 5700XT in early 2020 just for Catalina but that honestly turned out to be a waste. RIP

I mean, technically Hackintoshing is still alive for now, because Monterey is Intel / M1, but you can stick a fork in it when Apple announces that the next macOS will be M1 only. The fat lady hasn't sung the Intel swan song yet, but she's currently clearing her throat.. The odds are that the next macOS in fall of 2022 will be M1 only, since their migration will supposedly be complete when the M1 Mac Pro releases, but there's rumors that there's gonna be at least one more Xeon / Ice Lake based Mac Pro; I dunno that they'd release a new Intel Mac Pro only to yank out the carpet from under it a few months after..

How are you computing these odds lol Back in the day they didn't drop PPC support until about 3 years after all the hardware went Intel. That was a somewhat rapid schedule, made possible because the PPC Mac population was relatively small to begin with, and Intel Macs were so far superior that everyone knew PPC hardware was just obsolete. Today, there's a lot of Intel Macs out there, and a lot of goodwill Apple would trash by abandoning them so quickly. And a lot of them probably won't age out of being viable quite as rapidly as PPC Macs did.

they're also selling an intel mac pro right now and just upgraded it

The vast majority of their product lineup is still Intel based machines. I think there will likely be Intel builds of MacOS for at least the next 4 years.

There is some significant complaints from the business sector about moving to ARM. My guess is that they will move their lower end/consumer products to ARM and keep the professional stuff on Intel/x86 at least for awhile.

I expect them to offer an ARM mac pro soon, and upgrade the existing intel mac pro for a couple more years.

I think there's sufficient info out there to the effect that there will be at least one more Intel Mac Pro hardware update before the full AS transition ends, so I think you're right. I think anyone buying a new (even 2019) Intel Mac Pro would be rightfully pissed if they weren't getting intel-based macOS support for at least another 4 years. Even Tim himself said intel systems would be supported for "many years to come". Having said that, as a consumer I wouldn't buy an Intel mac at this point. At all. Ever. binarysmurf fucked around with this message at 02:55 on Nov 4, 2021 |

You could probably keep going for a few years after that - at least until the security patches stop. If they DO release another Intel mac Pro.. who knows?
