Look on the bright side.



So I guess this is a poor time to be asking about making a Hackintosh huh?

I just wanted something that I could run macOS for personal use (nothing super critical) on while also having a windows partition to play games.

I’m thinking of either buying a Mac Mini or building a small cheaper Hackintosh. What limitations do Hackintoshes have these days?

Planned obsolescence.

I understand that with ARM Macs coming but Apple won’t give up on Intel for at least 5 years so I’m okay with that.

Yeah, that sounds like a pain in the rear end. Guess I’ll bite the bullet and buy the Mac Mini. Thanks.

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?

They dead son. 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.

Guess I'll just get an arm mac mini and just get another console then.
