I managed to Hackintosh my Skylake!

Yep, it's now possible to create an almost perfect Skylake Hackintosh using El Capitan 10.11.2.

USB support is still iffy as fuck (really bad without hours of configuration) but still usable.

Sounds support is still a little dodgy too, most Gigabyte boards seem ok with a few custom patches, Asus boards are hit and miss and as I'm the only person who seems to have tried on an MSI board (that I can find) all I can say is everything I've tried so far hasn't worked at all. I'm getting help from the TonyMac community and they're confident it will work in time. There is a partially working workaround though.

Other than these 2 issues everything else is now working great.

Here's the thread you need to read if you wanna give it a go

But why? When you have windows

Because I can. I now have triple boot Windows 10/Ubuntu/Mac OS X.

I've been thinking about doing that as currently I'm just running 10 and fedora.

It's a bit of a pain but totally workable.

Mac OS requires CSM support enabled while my 10 & Ubuntu are installed in UEFI mode (CSM Disabled) and I have each OS on a separate drive so I have to swap CSM over to go between Mac & Win/Linux. That said Windows seem to boot fine in Legacy mode despite being installed in UEFI mode, it shouldn't work but it does (found this out by accident). GRUB doesn't work AT ALL without CSM support disabled though.

I could reinstall them all in legacy boot mode but I'm ok with swapping a UEFI setting if I need to.
