They have one from 2014, but they'd probably get a cease and desist if they tried it now.

Yes they would its against the EULA of the operating system and a reckless thing for a big youtuber to do.

Hackintosh is against apple EULA and also this forums rules.

 

Apple can can disable any Hackintosh system really easily via software switch if they really want to, but the amount of people who used Hackintosh is really small percentage.

If anything, it's a testament of good of an OS they've made. Even if the hardware they make you buy to use it is questionable.

Before the thread gets ?...

 

Isn't Mac OS based on some open-source kernel or something - Darwin, was it?

If someone installed that, could it be made to run Mac apps?  (I'm sure it would have a somewhat different UI; as I understand the actual Mac OS UI is proprietary.)

it won't.

 

It is based on UNIX at its core.

Mac OS is based on the Darwin OS (BSD+Mach, XNU). Mac OS is Darwin OS + all the licensed proprietary apple interface, cocoa, aqua, etc. 
You COULD install Darwin OS, but that would be hard as installing an hackintosh, you will need all those kexts like you were installing an hackintosh (FakeSMC, etc.) and you would only be able to run binary ELF prorgrams, typical unix desktops, X.org (So not Mac apps, they run on the Aqua and cocoa framework, you would run GNOME, KDE, XFCE, etc.) 


This is how Darwin OS would be like without "Mac OS"
What's the point of doing that? You could just install any linux distro and that would be the same, the only thing that changes its the BSD userland (bash, and all programs comes respectively from FreeBSD ones and GNU OS)

The way of doing it varies between what device you use. Laptops require specific patches, AMD CPUs require special patches, etc.., it would hard to create a video covering all of that, especially from someone who doesn't specialize in Hackintoshing. Using tonymacx86's tools isn't a very good idea either if you want a stable operating system (most of these videos just refer to those to make it easier for them).

Linus? Can you please make a Hackintosh tutorial? Thx

if you are smart enough to build a working hackingtosh, you are smart enough to simply learn llinux and quickly becoming an expert.

Cuz I can choose my own hardware which will work instead of a frankstein mix mesh that barely works with the software?

@wasab That's not true, where'd you get that idea? Compatibility is very good nowadays. More stable too.

yeah, good luck getting hackingtosh to run on your Microsoft pro and any prebuilt systems with OEM bios.

A simple Google search shows that the Surface Pro is easily hackintoshable. I hackintoshed my Lenovo laptop easily.

Linux is legal

If Hackintoshing wasn't, then there would be lawsuits against the people and communities developing the tools

The reason for that is the open source nature of their OS, you could just install the Mach Darwin XNU OS with the tools the hackintosh community made, since the whole Mac OS system is open source + proprietary interface and programs


You can't sue people just making a workaround for some piece of software to run on other systems. I don't really know how the EULA treats this but it is probably just referred generically to the Mac OS itself and for just having it installed, not for making the tools.

 

The most important hackintosh software probably are FakeSMC and Clover bootloader
