macOS on a Hackintosh. It’s stable AF, and I love it. Use it for work and music production. Then I dual boot Windows 10 for games.

What’s your specs? I’m running a pretty old X99 build. The dual boot is my favourite part and when I eventually get a Mac Studio that’s what I am gonna miss the most.

B365 build here (2020 build).

  • i7 9700
  • MSI B365M PRO-VDH
  • RX 5700 XT 8GB
  • 32GB DDR4 @ 2666MHz (Yeah, it's slowwww but it does what I need it to)
  • 970 EVO Plus 500GB NVMe (boot drive, with TRIM disabled because otherwise it takes 5 minutes to boot)
  • 860 QVO 1TB (Bulk Storage for music samples and work files, again with TRIM disabled due to boot times)

I'm going to miss Hackintoshing and (same as you) dual booting when they go full ARM-only. But I'll probably still rock this build for at least the next 3 years before upgrading to a Mac Studio or a Mac Mini.

I used to do this too, loved it. And planning on doing it again. Gonna miss it when macOS drops support for Intel.
