Here's a fun one - there is a snap package for ubuntu that has a script that sets up a Mac QEMU VM with hardware passthrough enabled, you just have to toggle it on for the hardware you want, and go into the config settings and tell it how much RAM and CPU cores you want to allocate. Snap packages can be installed in headless systems, like on Ubuntu Server, and you can legit send like everything save for one or two gigs of RAM and a couple e-Cores or a logical SMT/HT "core" or two to the VM, and then use those remaining resources to make snapshot backups of the VM, make the host OS act as a file server on your local network, etc. And you can do this with ANY 64 bit, x86 computer, no EFI file required, as long as you have the resources.
One thing I will say is I would not trust a random OS image downloaded off the internet, if you are going to do this you should use the OpenCore tool as it downloads direct from Apple, using some random OS image is very dangerous and honestly creating your own EFI is actually not as hard as it used to be, all that being said I know it was not your intent to lead people down a dangerous path, I really hope you attempt patching MacOS the proper way so you don't end up putting your data at risk

Hello Sam. Great video for many reasons about saving money not to mention. The material side, but the most important thing in my opinion is the use of a little older hardware that works very well under other operating systems. One request, can you make a video about installing OSX on a regular PC step by step. There are many videos on that topic, but it seems to me that they are either too fast or skip something. I think it would be a great hit for everyone, because people are learning while he is alive.
Depends on your computer but honestly A great use for AI tools is something like this. Just tell ChatGPT that you want to make a Hackintosh and provide it with all of your hardware and specifications. It should give you a pretty clear outline on what you need to do in what specific files would work for your specific platform.
I got Sonoma working on my old Windows PC, it was easy enough BUT there are no instructions in plain English on how to update. So whilst it seems simple it will never have security updates in which case I might aswell just stay on Windows 10.
You really shouldn’t use precompiled images because you have no clue if they contain malicious code in them and you should always use a factory image, compile your own SSDTs and install only well known and supported kexts.
@@samnesssepiol1230 no you don’t. Images can be obtained without you having a mac. Yes it is better to get an official image from the App Store but if you do not have a mac you can’t get it from there.
Don’t use premade isos and prebuilt efis because they can be tinkered to work with a different configuration than the one on your computer. Simply use macrecovery to make a macOS recovery dmg, and use SSDTTime to generate SSDTs, download kexts and drivers that are required for your build, and last but not least, RTFM
SIMPLY? From what I gather, nothing about creating a Hackintosh is simple. Using some random pre-made images and such like is a huge security risk, unless you already know the source can be trusted, but if you isolate it from your other computers and don't entrust it with any personal data, you can play around with MacOS. Realistically, it's just better just to buy a used Mac.
Really awesome video. "Instead of talking for two minutes that I'm gonna show you I'll just show you." Extremely appreciated. I'm very new to the Hackintosh thing but it might be a very good solution for what I'm planning, and this gave me an extremely good idea of what might be ahead of me. Thank you so much! Just one question, how do MacOS updates work, if they put out something new and support for the old one ends? Or updates to apps you install?

Could you upload the OS image to somewhere other than MEGA? The download limit of 5GB for free accounts means that nobody can download this in one sitting without waiting. Either zip the whole thing and break it up into segments or just upload somewhere else. Otherwise, great video.

It's worth it if you want to try something different. The Linux kernel is great, but Linux distros are a bewildering, inconsistent, minefield, where distros come and go in a flash and they all do things slightly differently. Linux is much improved, but it still hasn't completely lost it's "geek" factor... there's a bigger learning curve, and generally it's still not as user friendly as Windows or MacOS.
Conversely, why would anyone use Linux when they could use MacOS, Windows, or indeed any other OS. When you answer that, you've probably also answered your own question. 🙄

how is the performance on doing some productivity softwares (free ones) like video editing or image/raster editing? compared with just using it on the original opti 9020 with windows
I used Adobe premiere Pro, and attempted to use final cut though I have never used it before and admittedly did a terrible job lol Both of those applications ran okay and rendered a 10min video decently fast
Look, it’s hilarious Hackintoshing, just to middle finger Apple. But at this level, it makes no sense. A 2014 Mac mini comes in at around the same as a Dell 9020, and you don’t get WiFi issues, or audio issues, bla bla. No, save the Hackintosh pc for the truly high end Mac pros….except for those 2019 Mac pros going for 12000 are now in the 2 to 3 thousand price ranges! I’ve seen new old stock so cheap…. No, the truly wonderful thing about the Hackintosh community, especially the Open Core development is the ability to use legacy Mac hardware to run current Mac OS. And that is way cool :)
The opti's are 1/4 the price of 2014 mac minis, and the i7 minis are only 2 core, which the 4 core opti's run rings around. Also, if you really want, there are hackintosh 12 to 14 gen intel which rival high end Mac performance without the $7,000 price tag. Do it for 1/5 the price.

Because macOS has macOS exclusive applications and features that you're unable to get on Linux or Windows And yes, you can just buy a Mac if you don't want to spend some time working on a hackintosh but you won't be able to natively run windows and will have trouble running Linux (what I just said applies to the Apple SoC Macs such as m1-m3)
Because AirPlay, Handoff, iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud Drive, Final Cut, and various other programs are only for Macs. Linus is not the end all be all of operating systems
If you have to ask, you probably aren't interested in anything other than Linux, so it doesn't really matter what people say to you. Suffice to say, Linux isn't the only OS, it isn't necessarily the best OS and it certainly isn't the most user friendly one. Linux as an OS is a mass of inconsistent distros, there's no ONE standard, they aren't even all directly compatible with each other's applications, never mind the UI, software repositories etc. Having to revert to using a terminal app to enter arcane strings of text is reminiscent of the old MSDOS and pre 2000 Windows days. I don't want to revisit them a quarter of a century later. 😂

@@leapbtw it's clear you didn't watch the video lol
Well, it’s not easy is it because you just rely on a pre-made efi. The hard work was done by someone else, that’s all.
bro so what it is easy to drink coffee i didn’t invent that sht either
Of course it’s easy if it’s all made available for you. That’s the whole point. Not everyone is geeky
Did you build the device you're reading this on? Did you design and manufacture the Motherboard, CPU, GPU and RAM? Oh, someone else else did all the hard work for you? 😂
you have the unique ability to make every viewer feel special!
Well Done Brotha!

can I dual boot this?
Yes
It boots like a Linux distro.

how is the performance on doing some productivity softwares (free ones) like video editing or image/raster editing? compared with just using it on the original opti 9020 with windows
I used Adobe premiere Pro, and attempted to use final cut though I have never used it before and admittedly did a terrible job lol
Both of those applications ran okay and rendered a 10min video decently fast
I've had friends who tried this so called hackintosh thing and it never worked out time and time again. Just go buy a used Mac and forgo the hassle
We are jobless nerds dont put a stick in our fun
Look, it’s hilarious Hackintoshing, just to middle finger Apple. But at this level, it makes no sense. A 2014 Mac mini comes in at around the same as a Dell 9020, and you don’t get WiFi issues, or audio issues, bla bla. No, save the Hackintosh pc for the truly high end Mac pros….except for those 2019 Mac pros going for 12000 are now in the 2 to 3 thousand price ranges! I’ve seen new old stock so cheap….
No, the truly wonderful thing about the Hackintosh community, especially the Open Core development is the ability to use legacy Mac hardware to run current Mac OS. And that is way cool :)
The opti's are 1/4 the price of 2014 mac minis, and the i7 minis are only 2 core, which the 4 core opti's run rings around. Also, if you really want, there are hackintosh 12 to 14 gen intel which rival high end Mac performance without the $7,000 price tag. Do it for 1/5 the price.

Cool video
50 seconds of video and I'm done. I can;t stand that hand waving.
lol
i cant drag and drop this software sucks
You can't drag and drop? That's nothing to do with this software... it's user error or a problem with your hardware or your OS.
Hey man whats the hurry, if you wanted really share the knowledge then slow ok? not just looks someone bad guy has wanted to reach you ok? But your idea are good so keep it up
You're literally the only one complaining about it... There's no hurry. I'm not talking faster than any other normal person, if I'm going too fast, adjust the speed on TH-cam or pause The video instead of leaving a comment like that.
Can I install macOS next to Windows?
You must certainly can you can buy a cheap usb hard drives and rock it like its not going to broke
why would anyone need to do all of this when u can just use linux??
Because macOS has macOS exclusive applications and features that you're unable to get on Linux or Windows
And yes, you can just buy a Mac if you don't want to spend some time working on a hackintosh but you won't be able to natively run windows and will have trouble running Linux (what I just said applies to the Apple SoC Macs such as m1-m3)
Because AirPlay, Handoff, iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud Drive, Final Cut, and various other programs are only for Macs. Linus is not the end all be all of operating systems
@@Mamoonabm yep, and you dont have to pay for an expensive mac, and have linux or windows, with MacOs dual boot.
If you have to ask, you probably aren't interested in anything other than Linux, so it doesn't really matter what people say to you. Suffice to say, Linux isn't the only OS, it isn't necessarily the best OS and it certainly isn't the most user friendly one. Linux as an OS is a mass of inconsistent distros, there's no ONE standard, they aren't even all directly compatible with each other's applications, never mind the UI, software repositories etc. Having to revert to using a terminal app to enter arcane strings of text is reminiscent of the old MSDOS and pre 2000 Windows days. I don't want to revisit them a quarter of a century later. 😂
