What happens after Tahoe?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi everyone, if you're like me you would definitely be wondering what happens with the hackintosh community and solutions post macOS Tahoe such as the next new version and the versions after it which will not support Intel CPU'S leaving only two options to ponder.

First one is the radical and novel yet uncharted territory involving having to modify the installer package itself ( using Apple's open source GitHub repository many aren't even aware it exists: https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/distribution-macOS ) it basically contains all aspects of Apple's operating system and source code including to kernel and other components, so it might help someone start developing or making baby steps before the next version appears maybe?

Or option 2 which I think has a much better chance of or higher likelihood of being implemented possibly by some novel new bootloader development or by dortania/ opencore or clover 🍀, I find it interesting that we have options such as Ventoy, refind, and a relatively new one limine all which could easily support macOS and the various configurations with a little bit of tweaking and integrations such as the drivers and logic to use them and how to understand and preload config.plist etc. 

I would like to hear what anyone else has to say, recommend, suggest, or simply what anyone thinks of this or of any new macOS or the future regarding this?

My personal suggestion in addition to what is already mentioned is to ( however much it may be undesirable) , basically leverage a limine bootloader as it seems to be alot safer and can be configured and customised to look identical to a normal macOS bootloader and boot stages etc. but with one key difference, given the architecture difference with the M series and any new variants Apple chooses to move forward with, we may need to think a little differently, if security is a concern and it may be a very vital concern if quantum computing keeps evolving at the speed at which it has been, then possibly using SeL4 micro kernel as the hypervisor, with a immutable virtual machine host or base for security then atop of that a mutable eg read write capable Linux kernel with all the drivers and support eg. Xen or other and userland being a virtual machine or a Docker (dockerized / containerized) implementation of the macOS version that comes after Tahoe, whereby the virtual environment itself will definitely have the capability to emulate to almost native performance levels (as close as is possible) on an x64 system an operating system designed for x architecture ( X meaning any named architecture) , of course to keep it a little more simplified we could simply go with an operating system such as Harvester or Rancher OS as an option integrating a container Docker or kubernetes style emulation of M series latest MacPro system available today ?

Too much? Not enough? What are your thoughts?
