System updates not working or being complicated is a given.

About the other things you mention: What do they mean in practice? That video games don't work, or that photo/video editing doesn't work?

How does filesystem support differ from MacOS installed on a Mac?

From what I understand your comment is only from the perspective of a developer? But there are many other uses for a computer.

You didn't answer my question - have you tried making a Hackintosh yourself?

I'm writing from the perspective of a tech-savvy Windows user that had triple-boot working on my desktop and laptop. I'm willing to deal with some system configuration, but it took upwards of 12 hours to configure my EFI for each unique device I wanted to Hackintosh. And it still didn't fix my iCloud or get my laptop trackpad working.

That is an entirely unacceptable process for someone who isn't a developer. I cannot recommend anyone use an OS that blocks OTA security updates, let alone people that can't/don't/won't program.

  • No I haven't, if I had I wouldn't have needed to make follow up questions.

    But if you follow a guide from somebody who has hackintoshed the exact same device you have, then it shouldn't take that long, or am I missing something? The posts in the hackintosh subreddit generally details what will work and not work.
