    I’m curious: is this still a thriving community? Intel-based Macs are on the verge of being fully deprecated by Apple, so Hackintoshes will (within a year or two) be little more than “vintage computers.” Sure, you might manage to make one more cheaply or more powerful than an Intel Mac, but at some point there isn’t much that’s going to run. Already they’re stuck with older OS releases.

      The guides are still updated for the newest OS release, all the tweaks are still being maintained. But I have the feeling that the community is fading more and more (as expected). I am still running a hackintosh, and as long as the whole machine with dedicated GPU, 32gb RAM and 1TB ssd is still cheaper than the 32gb RAM upgrade alone from Apple, I will continue to run it.
