Why haven't you hackintoshed yet, Sup Forums?

Why haven't you hackintoshed yet, Sup Forums?

It is literally the best of both worlds, you have the customisability and the Unix shell of Linux and you have the compatibility of popular software (like adobe) like on Windows. All on a PC.

I have an actual mac.

I have an iPad Pro 2nd gen

>anime
get out you stupid poorfags

This is an anime image board

Wait how does a device from 2008 have DDR4?

Only if you learn pic related and all the ins and outs of macOS and a vanilla hackintosh install.
Which is something you can't expect the average Sup Forums user to do.

Adobe is responsible for how many security holes in the past ten years? between flash and acrobat reader? Why would I want their software on my computer?

>fagintosh

I did, but the compatibility is shoddy with my stuff because I didn't specifically build my system around it. Shit breaks almost every time I update.

I'm mostly just living on my Windows partition right now because of vidya anyway. Next build is going to be built around having this as an option though.

This is the big killer for me on my Hackintosh. All the shortcuts I'm so used to are all different.

Funny. I'm using the Mac operating system and yet the thing that makes me feel like a massive faggot is having to use a mouse more than usual.

>fagOS

That's iOS.

This

and where the fuck i can download the IMG or ISO? i cant find on torrents or anything, send link or something

I have a DMG that can be used...

>implying it comes with that trash preinstalled

Download a premade "distro" (which comes with everything needed for OS X but also probably comes with a keylogger preinstalled). Install on a virtual machine. Use said VM to prepare the files for a clean vanilla install on your hackintosh.

Or you know, you could support the people who make the OS and buy an actual mac

>buy a Mac
This is a hackintosh thread buddy.

>best of both worlds
>customisability and the Unix shell of Linux
People use Linux not because of the shell but for the ecosystem, repositories and good support for server and programming software.

Fuck you and your fisher price OS. I have an iPhone 6 and a 2011 256gb mackbook air - i secure wiped it and it has 3 partitions grub / Debian cinnamon / swap

Because literally all tutorials requires you to have access to running OSX if you want to have hackintosh and I am too poor to buy a mac.

but mac os is shit, in some cases even linux is better

Waiting for high sierra so i wont have to convert my filesystem.
rutracker.org
they have checksums so you can verify that the download is the legit one.
macos has better ecosystem and as good support for server/programming software.

When I mentioned "you need OSX" I did not only mean that "you need OSX to download OSX image" but also to start actual process (like "Open Disk Utility" and other OSX apps). And I do not know russian.

extract the .hfs and use literally anything. bootdiskutility can work if youre on windows

I don't support jews.

>worse hardware support than linux
>still no gaems

more games than linux tho

but how would you play those games without proper drivers for your hardware

It's a hackintosh you mong

nvidia driver supports all nvidia gpus, (intel) cpus are all the same, motherboards mostly work

...

I bought a core 2 duo Imac for 35€ on craigslist. 1920x1200 24" screen to watch my vixen porn. I have it since may, this is my first ever mac and so far it's pretty good, I lile how softwares are nicely packaged in .app files

this is great
I thought only community-ported stuff existed

Useless.
Unless you really need to use some application for work with a high horsepower machine, non-Apple.

Otherwise just get a MacBook Pro for a few hundred bucks, way better then a hackintosh.

>t. hackintoshing since 2006

I made the mistake to buy an AMD cpu.

And this.

Because their shit is still the best in class.

>Or you know, you could support the people who make the OS and buy an actual mac
Oh yes, Apple is going down after couple poorfags Hackintosh their shit.

That's all you.
You are literally a winbaby tier material.

>muh shortcut keys, I'm to dumb to learn

if you see in the OP image, he uses an AMD processor

>>Because their shit is still the best in class.

>flash
>acrobat reader
>best in class
you're delusional

Never had a Apple product, how is it with hackintosh ans OS? Do I need to buy first-time license or something?

>pirating

but I have... works great

the only downside, you have to buy jewtel

you don't, to use AMD you need a patched kernel and that's it

>flash
Does anyone really use it?

>acrobat reader
Acrobat Pro is for professional users. Non professionals can pick whatever, since whatever they do isn't worth much.

Maybe it changed with Ryzen? I recall it taking way too much effort with FX ones.

I did that in Snow Leopard days, was a pain in the ass and many applications were buggy

but dont know, maybe today it works better since the CPU's probably have same instruction sets

yeah which is awful and cumbersome. intel just works way better on a hackintosh.

literally everything just works, all I had to do was place the custom amd 10mb kernel file inplace of the default one

as I said, bad experience in snow leopard days. maybe today is easier to run it on amd..

and that everytime you update.
also, some applications don't work properly with a ryzen cpu e.g. illustrator cc crashes for me.

dont spread lies.

I don't like the mac ux

werks on my AMD machine :^)

thats great for you!

But can you use actual Mac keyboard on hackintosh?

>Hackintosh

Sorry op, I don't support the sjw movement

uwu

If you get the right wifi/wireless adapter for like $18. Remember, hackintosh isn't emulation which """people""" (macfags) seem to have a hard time grasping

the good people over at tonyx86 would be more than happy to help retards like you out

but by using hackintosh you don't support it

>This is an anime image board
No, it's not. The board title clearly reads "Sup Forums - Technology".
Now, fuck off.

You can buy the latest model of the Macbook Air for a thousand euro's. Or a Mac Mini for 600 euro.
It'll serve you for years and there's literally not a thing you can't do with it. So why would you ever settle for a mediocre self-built system?

>comparing the superior BSD unix to the bad structured linux

Because 1k for an Air is fucking insane (500-600 for an used one is bearable but most people don't want to buy used shit) and Mac Mini isn't powerful enough for some people.

Damn, you're right, I'm going to stop using Lightroom, Photoshop and Premiere because Flash sucks! Thanks for showing me the light!

post feet

A lot of people have 600/700 euro phones in their pockets and buy a new model every 1,2 year.
For all the support you're getting 1k really isn't that expensive. Also there are few things a Mac Mini can't handle.
Inb4 muh VM's, video editing. No you won't use your hackintosh for that purpose either because the graphical performance of those machines are way worse. A lot of respected programmers and researchers use the Macbook Air. People like Linus Torvalds and in the past Ian Murdock.

Because me not have autism

graphical performance of hackintosh is the same as native

It's not though

yes it is, have you even used one or are you just parroting something you read?

If you do not have a chip in your system that Apple doesn't use in their machines you graphical performance won't be any good. If you do the money you'll save is minimal as countless people have shown before.

No PCI-e passthrough.

If I had a third GPU to use, I'd run it as a VM and use it as my daily OS, but I don't, so I won't.

They usually get their phones with contracts.

Besides, it's not as much the price as what you get for it. For thousand bucks you get a laptop with a fucking 900p screen, in 2013+4. yeah it shits on all the other Windows laptops but it's still a fucking rip off when there are much, much better options for 200-300 bucks more, but when you go there, it's suddenly quite a bit cash for poorfags. Besides, the new macbooks got too modern ports for most people who still got USB A crap, which again means more spending for adapters.

>the graphical performance of those machines are way worse.
It's not. If anything it can be better. Specially than a fucking Mac Mini.

>A lot of respected programmers and researchers use the Macbook Air. People like Linus Torvalds and in the past Ian Murdock.
GRRMartin uses some DOS shitbox. Personal preferences of different people built on familiarity is a shitty argument. Air was by far the best small laptop since 2010 or so, it's not surprising that some people got used to it and don't look for better options. For a new buyer the situation is different.

that's blatantly wrong though, Nvidia even makes drivers for cards that aren't in Macs and they run great, about the same as windows or linux

OK. tonymacx86.com/forums/graphics.13/

yeah, you've obviously never used one

Hackintosh and compatibility doesn't exist. Plus no xenons or ecc ram

wh-why

pcie memethrough actually exists tho
per xhyve
It exposes the following peripherals to virtual machines:

Local x(2)APIC
IO-APIC
8259A PIC
8253/8254 PIT
HPET
PM Timer
RTC
PCI:
host bridge
passthrough
UART
AHCI (i.e. HDD and CD)
VirtIO block device
VirtIO networking
VirtIO RNG

I've been using it for like 2 months now, but setting my R9 390 took a long ass time. I had to extract my gpu bios rom and use 2 programs to extract useful information out of then, then I had to use another program to get some shitty framebuffer data (Baladi) out of some kext and edit that and then use clover configurator to apply the patches . It's a bit complicated, but there's a nice guide insanelymac.com/forum/topic/303186-how-to-modification-of-amd-fb-clover-injection/
.
Before that, i used like 4 kext patches (so that it actually works and doesn't crash on Safari when u try to watch videos or play certain types of sounds) to make my HD 4600 working along with Intel Inject.
To make ur 390 working after that with Sierra, u have to set ur IGPU as the primary and disable any kind of windows support shit on your mobo so that it doesnt automatically switch to your gpu, and I had to enable both ATI and Intel inject so that there was no second display with the shitty 7mbs or whatever of gpu memory and no proper framebuffer. I didn't have to do that on El Capitan back then, but atleast I don't have fucking black screen crashes.

>AMD
found your problem

>AMD
ahahahahahhaha
how poor and stupid you must be?

Do you know what Sup Forums is

I went the opposite route and just installed Linux on my Macbook air. I can't stand the Mac window manager (cmd-tabbing only shows one window per program, closing a program leaves it running half the time, you cant maximize a window without it taking up the full screen. Also, package management is shit. Not nearly as shit as Windows, mind you, but still not as good as apt. Oh, and it's retarded how it wont let me remap hotkeys.

>apt

While window management aspect is subjective (there are programs like amethyst tho), closing a window keeping the program running and true maximizing are the objectively right ways of program management.

i'd rather use homebrew than apt, even on linux.
And i'm sure it does let you remap hotkeys as seen there ->

You're right , you join it instead.

I use it on my laptop, which is an actual Mac. It's ok but there's nothing I do with it that I can't do on my Debian desktop. I think I like both systems equally. Boty run Sublime Text, GCC, GIMP, Libre Office, QEMU, and a recent enough version of Bash. Both can use SSH, both can run Firefox for shitposting with all my favorite extensions.

>CMD+M = minimize selected window
>CMD+Q = quit current program
>CMD+Option+D = hide/show the dock
>CMD+Space = toggle Spotlight search
>CMD+Option+Escape = toggle list of running apps with option to force quit
Those are a few of the keyboard shortcuts I use frequently. Trackpad gestures are cool too but you'd have to buy an Apple trackpad for it if you're on a desktop. I think it's worth it though.

Yes. You can use a Mac keyboard on anything. It's just Bluetooth or USB.

Homebrew is a pretty ok package manager, if that's what you're talking about.

Because I did the mistake of buying a prebuilt when I was young and inexperienced.

Test

kek, that's odd, I use my mouse way more on my Windows desktop than on my Macbook Air. You'll eventually get used to it.

It's macOS. Hackintosh supports anything that's Apple hardware the same way the official thing does.

Also I already use hackintosh, been using it for a year. It's fucking great, I think people need to take more time to get used to it.

I'm pretty luke warm on OS X generally. I've used it a few times in the past but I can't say that it's exactly grabbed me. Some things are just harder to do on a mac and it just gets in the way of my workflow. I think it's a decent operating system but I prefer to run GNU/Linux

it's just linux

Things I like about hackintosh:

>Runs actually pretty decent on dated hardware (I have some cheap budget haswell build)
>Plenty of software available
>No fucking around with much of anything, maybe because I happen to have compatible hardware which again, was cheap shit commonly available
>Better on the GUI department than anything
>Makes a trackpad useful
>Looks great by default
>Probably the most stable OS I've had in a few years
>Parallels gives me some mad performance

Things I don't like about it
>Not a lot of customization
>Slow with some tasks
>Lack of games and the games it supports, unless they run on a toaster run slower (sometimes even half the framerates). At times shit will run faster under Parallels than natively which is a bit funny
>Some retarded shit like the shortcut for showing and hiding files
>That I truly expect to have to wait almost half a year for High Sierra to be usable because they will surely take measures against Hackintoshing
>That the only reason I can disable mouse acceleration on my mouse for free is because Steelseries has mac support
>More forced to buy stuff that's compatible
>I don't feel any more secure than on Windows
>Emulation not as good
>Pages doesn't have multiple text selection, what the fuck?
>Safari only plays webbums on a separate tab

>dated hardware
>haswell build
good point kiddo

Freedom, user.

Because it pretty much leaves your machine insecure
One update that is incompadible and your machine is dead
You want macOS? Get a real mac.

>One update that is incompadible and your machine is dead

One year updating Sierra and not a single problem.

It all depends on your hardware and your method of installation. Some people are stuck thinking hackintosh is this buggy nonsense from 2010 or niresh builds.

OP pls
