Many will tell you that buying Intel-based hardware from Apple is buying obsolete models.
They have great hardware and will always run Linux. I have KDE Neon running on my 2013 MacBook Air, and it runs like a champ. It’s the perfect travel laptop.
Yes, but keeping the old Apple hardware alive was not the point of the article. The point was to try to run MacOS on non Apple hardware.
That line was in reference to how long Apple would be supporting MacOS on Intel, which for the Hackintosh community, also means how long they can continue to build Macs with off the shelf parts.
These people don’t care about the Apple hardware. They like MacOS and want hardware that they can upgrade and tweak.
Well, it’s a quote from the article. And I’m commenting on the quote from the article. I’m sorry if you didn’t like my comment, but you could have skipped it instead of making it part of your day.
Similar boat here with a Mid 2012 MBP. Build quality is amazing, Linux runs great, and the touchpad gestures work really well.
My only complaint is Broadcom’s awful blob WLAN driver, the libre alternative driver is more stable but sadly 1/4 of the speed
Why are Messages and FaceTime dependent on WiFi drivers? This seems insane.
I don’t understand why you would want a hackintosh or a mackintosh for that matter. There’s linux and openbsd. Sooo what’s the advantage? Apple looking ui? Not being able to split screen without paying?
It usually just works. I’d rather not have to spend hours in config files to get my linux system setup the way I want. I run linux in a vm. But I say this for a legit mac. If I was going to go to the trouble of running a hackintosh, I probably would just go to linux at that point. But there is the case of mac software too if there is something there that is a must have
To compile stuff for macs without having to buy a mac
