Hello everyone! I've been using Linux for more than a year now and I must say I'm really happy. However, it seems like it's time to switch things up. Since I began working with some new tools, I started using Mac for my tasks, and I really enjoy the operating system, though I don't like the hardware much. I already have a PC at home that serves as my main workstation (CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X, Nvidia Gtx 960, and a Gigabyte B450MDS3H motherboard). I'm planning to turn it into a hacking machine. Would like to install Mojave (it's possible), but I'm worried about damaging anything because I'm not very confident when making changes. What are the main risks to watch out for? Is this even feasible? Do anyone have advice or tips? I'm still not fully clear on the guide, so I thought I should ask first. Thanks a lot, and have a great day!
You won't cause any damage, the only possible outcome is failure. Still, Nvidia GPUs lack up-to-date drivers for OSX, and it seems the 900 series isn't compatible.
AMD-OSX.com offers useful guidance for modifying an AMD system. Follow a case that matches your specs closely. Remember the motherboard plays a key role in booting OSX. I recommend starting with High Sierra and updating Mojave yourself. Edited January 30, 2019 by SupaKomputa (link omitted)
I experienced full functionality with my BIOSTAR x370 motherboard. The only issue was Final Cut, which requires Intel IGPU to operate correctly via Quicksync. They provide official drivers for the 9th generation. Pascal is also compatible with the latest updates, and I’ve used it successfully on my older 1050ti.
I'm working on Hackintosh version 10.5 and still have the CDs. The vanilla approach (without installers) usually works, though it can be quite challenging. A small mistake might require starting over completely. This process is trial and error—be ready for surprises. I've moved away from High Sierra and am excited about Mojave. Treat it as a fun project, not something serious.
