A Hackintosh is a non-Apple computer that runs macOS using compatible hardware and custom bootloaders such as OpenCore or Clover.

Q: Is building a Hackintosh legal?

Installing macOS on non-Apple hardware violates Apple's macOS license agreement. It is generally used for educational and experimental purposes.

Hey,

my Mac prompts me that he wants to update himself from 12.0.1 to 12.1.

According to Hackintool, my current OpenCore version is 0.7.6.

Is it safe to let it update or will I brick my system? I heard MacOS is generally problematic with updates even on official hardware, im pretty happy with the system as-is but updates shall not be ignored on a default basis.

Thanks
