Managed to get it running smoothly on my laptop, but sleep remains an issue, audio isn’t working yet, and it struggles to connect to nearby Wi-Fi networks. I’m unsure if I should spend hours troubleshooting for a real benefit beyond learning a new operating system. It’s fair to say it’s not worth it, but the dock is disorganized, I’m not sure I’ll get used to the keyboard shortcuts, and I don’t really like being tied to an interface. Only the ability to reply to IM messages matters to me, though honestly it’s not a huge problem—just responding from my phone works fine. Still, since I have nothing else to do, it feels a bit fun. What do you think will work best? Just installing Linux and moving on might be the simplest option. It’s still decent, after all, and the built-in dictionary is handy.
Decide to build a Hackintosh when you truly require the MacOS setup. For simply avoiding Windows, Linux works well. Ubuntu has improved significantly in ease of use and convenience, yet for seasoned Linux users, choose a preferred distribution and stop there.
Balance your time investment against the advantages and downsides. Installing Ubuntu LTS might ensure stable Wi-Fi connections, but long-term reliability could bring frustration. Your current setup works well enough without Apple tools, though multitasking feels cumbersome. The tiling feature is appealing, yet it may not suit your workflow. You’re spending time fine-tuning the Linux install, which is great for focus, especially if you need to concentrate on one task at a time. Keep an eye on bugs and consider upgrading your Wi-Fi card if needed. It’s a fairly large device, so portability isn’t a priority right now.
I own two desktops—one running Linux and the other Windows 10. I’m experimenting here and think the issues can be fixed. While I’m not sure if I want to tackle them, having a laptop with notes from my phone and reminders on my phone right there is really convenient. Plus, my phone is right next to me.
I have a HackIntosh running via QEMU/KVM on Linux. It’s convenient since I can take snapshots and roll back drives, copy disk images, and spin up new ones. Here’s the script you used to configure it: https://github.com/foxlet/macOS-Simple-KVM
