As an iMac user for years, I've lately considered the idea of either a hackintosh or just giving up on MacOS completely.

I'm ready to upgrade to a new Apple desktop, and none of the options are even remotely enticing for the amount of money they require.

I just don't like the state of things anymore and 99.9% of what I do doesn't need MacOS. Though there is some investment into the ecosystem that will hurt a bit.

Would have to repurchase Serif products on Windows. As much as I enjoy Linux from time to time, I don't know that I could see myself moving to it full-time




Unless things have drastically changed in the last 2 years, any MacOS update on a hackintosh is an absolute shitshow


I think things have changed some with using OpenCore now instead of the older system. It does take more initial setup but from what I've heard it's a bit more resilient when it comes to updates.

I'd still be scared of an update completely borking everything though...
