System specs first:
Ryzen 3900x
AMD Radeon RX580
32GB G-Skillz 3600Mhz RAM
X570 Aorus Pro
I've been thinking about doing this for a few weeks now, as I use none of the features Success' href='/2020/12/install-macos-catalina-on-supported-pc.html'>Catalina brings anyway (Sidecar is not great/not working on systems without iGPU, split itunes into 3 apps I don't use and bloat???), but there were some 32bit apps I missed.
I did not do it until today as I was afraid of all the setups I would have to redo, like app reinstall, settings configuration, etc... Today I finally got the courage to do. I created a Success' href='/2020/12/install-macos-mojave-on-supported-pc.html'>Mojave USB, I copied my OpenCore folder to the USB, installed, and to my complete surprise, TIME MACHINE made the transition so smooth that besides it being Success' href='/2020/12/install-macos-mojave-on-supported-pc.html'>Mojave and not Success' href='/2020/12/install-macos-catalina-on-supported-pc.html'>Catalina, it feels like I only rebooted my system.
Everything is there, EVERYTHING. I was unaware of how good time machine is because I never used it, even though I own a macbook (seems impractical to connect a hard drive to my laptop everyday).
And even more surprised, When booting Success' href='/2020/12/install-macos-mojave-on-supported-pc.html'>Mojave, I do not get the "GPU driver loading" Black screen after typing in my password. My guess is Success' href='/2020/12/install-macos-mojave-on-supported-pc.html'>Mojave loads it before but no matter, this makes the experience so much smoother.
TL;DR
Don't be afraid to downgrade to Success' href='/2020/12/install-macos-mojave-on-supported-pc.html'>Mojave, just make sure to use Time Machine.
Don't be afraid to Hackintosh. It is extremely fun and thanks to OpenCore, easier every day (as long as you actually follow their guide https://Dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/)
