      But as one of your subscriber i have a request to make . In one of your prior videos you said that it is possible to switch between distros without breaking the existing installation. And you also mentioned that it is possible to switch even file managers . So if you make a video(long or short your call 😇) which covers both these topics then it will be very helpful for all of us( especially for new users like me).

    Installing MacOS with VMWare: like frying an egg.
    Installing MacOS with Opencore: like manufacturing the pan, refining the cooking oil, then raising the chickens to lay the egg before frying it. Update: only to discover that the egg can only be fried in a very specific set of pans and just with a certain kind of oil.

    • @justsomerandompersononthei2595
      @justsomerandompersononthei2595 3 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      Only to find out that there's a better way to fry the egg (opencore or kext update) or your pan breaks (Mac OS version lost support and needs to upgrade), and you have to do it all over again. But it's slightly easier to do it as you now know how to make the pan and refine the cooking oil.

    • @louiemorais9570
      @louiemorais9570 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @Vek Why does a knife cost $9999 more than another? There is no mention of the benefits and reasons for using OpenCore over VMWare neither in this video nor in the OpenCore website. Benefits have been hinted by Just some random... above when he wrote that with OpenCore apparently, one doesn't lose support and can upgrade the OS, which in my eyes starts to make a very good case for OpenCore and why so much work is required to set it up.
      I am really looking forward to seeing OpenCore finding a way to get it to work with Nvidia cards and most laptops' WIFi cards. Now that I know, it seems a really great solution but with a very limited scope of use for the many of us with certain hardware configurations. I hope someone finds the time to perhaps mash up OpenCore with Clover/VMWare and maintain OpenCore's machine-level integration with a machine's compatible hardware whilst using Clover/VMWare-like emulation where that machine's hardware is not compatible. I hope this is even possible because if it is it will be really cool.

      I watched another video that had a similar amount of information recently..there is still trial and error. I was installing on a mini PC and wasted almost 3 hours messing with kexts and config only to find out I had it plugged into the wrong dp port. This model has 3 and kept black screening on me and I finally switched the port and it booted. Opencore is miles ahead of what I used to use to hackintosh the early days of clover on proprietary hp laptops

I am now installing OpenCore Catalina on my main daily driver, a 3 year old build with Kaby Lake (Corsair Carbide case). I previously had Clover Mojave on that box. There were a few recurring issues with audio and preview that hopefully a fresh install and a new boot loader will help remedy. Thanks so much for the easy to follow tutorial. This time I even went a head and installed the python-tk as I knew it was coming.

    Awesome video, one of the few video adaptations of my guides I quite enjoy! Few things I wanted to mention:
    - Nvidia's Kepler is still supported even in macOS 11 Big Sur
    - I211 should use Smalltree, not IntelMaussi
    - Would like if you explained why you used the SSDTs, cause you just slammed through without explaining why you need them. Other platforms need very specific SSDTs not created by SSDTTime
    - Prebuilt SSDTs are slow for boot, but fine once booted
    - You only need to do clean snapshot, no need to run regular snapshot before
    - You do not need a device-id for HD 4600, only for the 4400
    Besides that, seriously great video! I appreciate you going through and explaining everything, I know some people are pretty visual so they'll love this. Might even add it to the front page of the desktop guide for users

    Great tutorial. I actually ran through this entire process myself a few weeks ago for my 3800X and i was interested in seeing how it differs between the two. The answer is barely, I had a few more kexts that you and it seemed like a fair few more edits to make in the config.plist but the basic premise was identical.
    Just one point of advice, when formatting a drive for Catalina you should use APFS and not Journaled since the OS will just convert the Journaled FS to APFS after you finish installing anyway. It saves a step later. I believe if you're installing anything older than Catalina you do need to use Journaled FS.

    While I do appreciate your hands-on walkthrough to getting it done (thanks for ventoy btw - completely dodged my radar so far), it might be interesting to elaborate a bit on what you're actually doing there. Like, for example, what does ACPI actually do, and why do I need to set some values for things to "just look right" for macOS. (edit: and that you can use similar methods to migrate a baremetal machine into a VM without it really noticing, for example, or 'theoretically' move OEM locked licence keys between machines :cough: )
