Probably the easiest way to do it would be top use a distro, most have all the correct kernels and drivers, + it configures itself after first boot   :)

 

There's guides on the internet if you want to find out more, since piracy is banned on LTT

 

Just know that some things might not work properly since it is a hackintosh :)

 

 

You can make a custom installer (which is "more legal") if you're into that, but if this is your first time hackintoshing, I'd recommend using the above method

 

 

 

EDIT: removed links to pirated content

Specs: CPU: AMD FX 6300 Motherboard: Gigabyte 970A DS3P RAM: HyperX Fury 16GB 1866MHz GPU: MSI R9 270 OC edition Case: Sharkoon VS3-S SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB HDD: 1TB Caviar Blue PSU: Corsair CX500W

*If I say something that seems offensive, please don't take it seriously, it was most likely meant as a joke/sarcastically*

first, discussing pirated software is most certainly against the CoC

sencond, this barely works with any AMD APU/CPU

Apple has never used AMD CPUs. Support will be, well, limited at best.

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

My rig: The StealthRay. Plans for a newer, better version of its mufflers are already being made.
