Do you use a hackintosh user?
>what is a hackintosh?
Basically, hackintosh is the practice of installing OS X/macOS on a non-apple computer. This is done through the use of a bootloader such as clover or chameleon and custom drivers (kexts - kernel extensions) for non-apple hardware.
>why use macOS?
If someone wants to use a unix-like machine but wants convenience, a nice looking UI, third party programs that are unavailable on Linux such as Microsoft office and Adobe, macOS could be a nice alternative.
>but I heard macOS sucks!
Not really, every OS sucks, but for different reasons. Personally, I think the only reasons holding macOS back are the following:
-lack of openGL 3.3+
-lack of Vulkan (which is being somewhat fixed by third party companies like valve who are working with implementing Vulkan api calls from metal 2 - Apple's equivalent of directX)
-awful default keyboard shortcuts (which can all be changed)
-lack of features on the file manager compared to linux (which can be easily fixed with XtraFinder)
Like always, Jow Forums will try to meme people into believing that the system sucks by bringing up old bugs and/or security issues that are already patched. Most issues are patched within 2days to a couple weeks. Sometimes, they'll even mention defects related to Mac machines which is irrelevant in the context of hackintosh.
>ok, how do I get started?
Search for "hackintosh vanilla guide", look up your hardware and feel free to ask ITT.
Hackintosh thread
Nah, fuck your faggot manchildOS. This is now a non-gay thread.
Isn't this os proprietary botnet?
I currently use a 2011 mbp that I love but as things are not eternal I know some day it will leave me and die. Been thinking about its successor lately as it is starting to show some sign of decadence, and I realized that I will never be able to go back to windows anymore, last time I used it it was xp. Lately I made some projects with linux, some server shit and realized that it's not suitable for daily use so for my next PC I will definitely make an Hackintosh.
I only wonder: how is battery life?

btw iToddlers btfo
Also I will never buy another mac, I replaced ram and hdd on my little one and I'm mad about not being able to do it on the new models, which are fuckingly expensive now. Also, I don't know how long apple has to live, they are not doing so well ultimately

Can you read? Oh yeah, I forgot, you're just a 12 year old who copy-pasted this from another thread with a almost entirely different context.
Battery life depends entirely on whether or not you can set up power management properly on your laptop of choice. And, of course, said laptop's own battery life.
