MacOS

[JohnTheDawn]

was just wondering if my setup is macOS compatible

parts:

i5 6500

8gb ddr4 hyperx fury 

gtx 1060 3gb 

asus h110m-a/m.2

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.

why?

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.

@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.

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

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