*** A GUIDE TO A VANILLA-STYLE HACKINTOSH ***This guide was something I put together as I was trying to build a fully functional hackintosh for 4k Video editing. I am a primary Final Cut Pro X user, and my 2013-late Macbook Pro was beginning to show its age with rendering, timeline scrubbing so I thought it was time to upgrade to an iMac Pro until I was horrified when I found the prices I would be forced to pay. So I thought I would go the hackintosh route. I used the famous vanilla hackintosh subreddit here to get my feet wet and over the course of two weeks read pretty much every article I could find on the subject. After a lot of searching I managed to have a good understanding of how hackintoshes (and MacOS) works with the hardware and started writing things down. After a lot of time (close to a month of tinkering) I managed to complete this project with a fully functional hackintosh that cuts through 4K footage like butter. This information did not come out of thin air. I am very grateful to the wonderful folks in this subreddit as well as the good contributors at TonyMacx86.com, and the forum users at InsanelyMac.com all of whom were tremendously helpful. At the end of it all, I wanted to publish my guide, both as a template of how to build a hackintosh and also so that it provides an all-in-one education to anyone who wants to learn the vanilla method. Unfortunately, when I posted this guide on Tonymacx86.com I was greeted with a ban from that forum, because I apparently linked articles here and at other competing forums and talked about the Vanilla method, which is apparently a no-go over there.
I will include the complete guide as separate posts under this thread. [link] [comments] |
