Q: What is a Hackintosh?

A non-Apple computer configured to run macOS using compatible PC hardware combined with a custom bootloader and configuration files to emulate a real Mac environment.

Q: Is building a Hackintosh legal?

Installing macOS on non-Apple hardware violates Apple’s End User License Agreement (EULA). It is generally not illegal for personal experimentation but not permitted for commercial use.

Q: What hardware is best for a Hackintosh?

The best hardware closely matches real Apple systems, with Intel CPUs (6th Gen to Core Ultra), AMD Radeon GPUs, compatible chipsets, and Intel-based Wi-Fi cards offering higher success rates.

Q: Can I build a Hackintosh with an AMD CPU?

Yes, macOS can run on AMD Ryzen CPUs using kernel patches, but Intel CPUs provide better native compatibility.

Q: What is OpenCore?

OpenCore is a modern Hackintosh bootloader that provides near-native macOS behavior and is the recommended bootloader for new installations.

Q: Is Clover still supported?

Yes, Clover is still supported but less recommended compared to OpenCore for modern systems.

Q: Which macOS versions support Hackintosh?

Hackintosh systems support macOS versions from Leopard up to recent releases, depending on hardware compatibility.

Q: Do NVIDIA graphics cards work on Hackintosh?

Only older NVIDIA GPUs work on older macOS versions; modern NVIDIA GPUs are incompatible with current macOS releases due to lack of driver support.

Q: What is an EFI folder?

The EFI folder contains the bootloader, drivers, kexts, and configuration files required to boot macOS on a Hackintosh.

Q: What are kexts?

Kexts (kernel extensions) are drivers that enable hardware functionality such as audio, Ethernet, USB, and graphics.

I have installed Big Sur on my laptop Asus-x409ja with CPU i5-1035G1(G1 graphic, has faked to G4). I have some issues.

1. My laptop is random freeze after i use for a while and only thing i can do is hard reset the laptop.
2. When i boot, after apple loading bar done, a black screen take about 5-10second before login screen appear.
3. Sleep seemly doesn't working, screen is off but hardware is still running. (I have tested, it lost about 45% percent for 1 hour sleeping, i have changed hibernatemode to 3 and 0 but both result are same).

Thanks. I think the freezing appear when i'm use heavy task.( it usually happens when i'm using jetbrain rider) and i'm currently using CPUFriend.kext and CPUFrienDataProvider.kext. Should i temporarily disable them?
