I’m aiming to gather details from a Linus video to build a Mac using a customized hardware setup. Imagine a high-end MacPro packed with ample memory and storage, though not entirely assembled by your friends, Tim Cook. I’m open to incorporating at least one Apple part. The keyboard and trackpad are the most likely Apple components involved. On April 19, 2019, Linus and another knowledgeable individual shared an insightful YouTube video on transforming a standard PC into a Mac. The highlight was the thorough walkthrough of virtual machines and their benefits, as well as the risks of improper setup. The idea behind custom hardware isn’t about price—it’s about performance. I’m not sure if this video captures the latest guidance on virtualization setup. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Personally, I haven't used Hackintosh much, though I understand it hasn't changed much. You might find some forum discussions useful—feel free to check them out.
Checked the forum discussions at the first result was the only one found. There are likely more relevant threads available.
When I reviewed last year, the components I wanted seemed questionable, especially since this wasn’t a casual project. I haven’t revisited CPUs much, but I was considering AMD’s latest high-performance chips. There wasn’t much guidance available, so I’ve been preparing for the chance of ending up with an expensive Intel option. My work involves programming; I’ve created some YouTube videos, though I’m not a cinematographer. I’m struggling with iMovie and wonder if switching to Final Cut Pro would help. I own a budget-friendly 4K monitor and think my graphics card needs an upgrade. Currently, I have two SSDs—one SATA and one PCIe (the slower type used in MacBook Air). I’ll be searching for a faster 1TB or 2TB SSD and will retain my existing four 8TB HDDs for storage and backups. I run Linux virtual machines on my Mac to handle tasks and push updates across cloud servers. The main VMs use SSDs, while backup VMs rely on HDDs. My current setup:
Thank you to @SansVarnic and @Metallus97 for the leads. I'll review the details carefully soon.
@SansVarnic refers to the video from last year. I’m weighing whether to pursue the innovative method or opt for a simpler alternative. My priority is confirming there’s a viable path ahead, as the video seemed to suggest a non-straightforward route, though I doubt every attempt would succeed due to the intricate challenges involved.
