Anything is MacOS compatible if you spend enough time working on it.

 

Try sites like tonymacx86.com for advice on setting it up.

 

Also be warned, talking about running MacOS on non apple hardware really isn't allowed on this forum.

Gigabyte boards are better for hackintosh. But yeah as potoooooo said talking about Hackintoshes isn't really allowed because technically building one is illegal.

Talking about hackintosh stuff is pretty taboo on these forums. I will simply point you to this website: tonymacx86.com

By far the easiest way to do it, and they have compatibility lists.

Because in the TOS for MacOS it says that you agree to not use the OS on any non Apple devices.

That's because you didn't read Apple's 62 page long terms of service for MACOS

Thank god in the free world where I live, you can easily argue this stuff to not have any legal merits as they kinda can't dictate this, but this is Apple, they'll try anything. 

Yours faithfully

@JohnTheDawn

Technically speaking, running a Hackintosh in itself is not illegal. Acquiring OSX to run one is, as that falls under piracy. Best Apple could do when they offered OSX on disc and general download was take a hackintosher to court over violating the TOS, which are not absolutely legally binding. Hense why the only methods of acquiring OSX are now either buying an Apple device, downloading it through an Apple device, or downloading it from a third party that illegally hosts it.

Apple's far more likely to have their way, but they recognize that hackintoshers are extremely unlikely to purchase Apple hardware or software otherwise to it ain't worth their time or money in the short or long run.

Come Bloody Angel

Break off your chains

And look what I've found in the dirt.

 

Pale battered body

Seems she was struggling

Something is wrong with this world.

 

Fierce Bloody Angel

The blood is on your hands

Why did you come to this world?

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

The blood is on your hands.

 

The blood is on your hands!

 

Pyo.

I wonder how tall the burning piles of babies and money will be in their new compound. 

Yours faithfully

It depends on the country.  IIRC, it was ruled in the US that it's not illegal.

Currently focusing on my video game collection.

It doesn't matter what you play games on, just play good games you enjoy.
