Welcome to /fht/ - Friendly Hackintosh/OS X Thread #3.
Previous thread (near bumplimit): >>55452037
Ask questions, discuss tips and tricks, discuss your favorite software, and share your experiences.
Users of all skill levels are welcome. Let's keep it civilized and remember to not feed the trolls.
Any cheap laptop ($300/$500) suitable for hackintosh? I know touchpads on most are pretty crappy, but I would guess by now some of them are at least compatible with the gestures and shit. What bothers me is power management.

>>55487635
Yep I have a similar experience on my real macbook, what a fucking piece of shit it is. Should've just got an xps 13 instead of falling for the Mac meme.

Many thanks. Will be checking that out.

Linux user here. I support your thread, OP
>>55487481
You have entire sites dedicated to running your toddler OS on real computers. Fuck off back to them and stay there.

Why is it alright when it's other systems then? Just fuck off to their respective forums as well. Each distro has a community. There's mydigitallife for Windows too.

What Hackintosh is, OSX on non-apple hw?
how do i know if i can run the latest OSX?
>>55487765
By checking if people are having problems with the latest version and certain hardware.
Hackintosh is essentially OSX with a different bootloader. You have the exact same system, but you have to kinda trick your way through the fact that it's not designed to support hardware that's only used on PCs officially.

Why do people do this?
Retired my Hackintosh for now because I need Linux again and only have one SSD. Was good fun, and will be buying an Apple laptop in the future because of it.
>>55488143
oh yeah you did the same thing before too. the "so mad you shut down and mirror everything i say" thing doesn't exactly signal to people that you're the reasonable person here, but whatever.

>>55488172
i'm not reluctant to believe that you and that guy share the exact same behavior, but having the same juvenile breakdowns in a discussion make you seem like that guy having merely returned after resetting your router to get a new ip address.
so replace "you" with "that guy" and it gets a little bit more depressing that the only response you can come up with is to mirror everything i post back at me and fire back half-baked greentext reactions
>>55488198
definitely appropriate.

You should go get your autism treated kid.

honestly have you ever thought maybe you would have fewer tantrums if you just didn't get caught up in threads you didn't care for? or do you think you would have to start dealing with your shit and that would be kind of hard?
i can't imagine that someone spending lots of time posting that he hates threads on 4chan has a lot going in his favor - posting each of these complaints means that you have to cooldown a bit before you can post something in a thread you do like, but you're bitching in here so much that i'm not sure if you even have time for that.
i guess i'm asking if you're willing to give positive reframing a shot. because you're clearly very upset, it's clearly not healthy, the mods don't really like this behavior either, this whole arrangement is just not working for you and people like you who just complain all the time.

The kid was trying to sell a gun that was stolen from the guy that shot him.
There is evidence of RX480 and RX460 support in macOS Sierra. But for the RX480 there only seems to be Framebuffer support, while the rx460 seems to have full support.
Would RX480 still be a good choice to buy now and hope and pray for full native support?
>>55488328
Seeing as the RX480 would be the more popular one still, perhaps people will be more inclined to find workarounds to get it fully working. I just would only consider a RX460 if my budget was limited and I knew that I wouldn't need anything better for my usage.
>>55488328
Honestly, I would probably do it, but I'd advise against it, seems bit too dumb of a risk.
>>55488301
>>55488381
You should get your autism checked seeing how many times you post that in every shill thread.
>>55488372
The community would probably get it to work, but that seems risky, especially for upgrades. RX460 doesn't seem worth it, so I might wait until another RX is supported - hopefully all of Polaris 11 will be.
>>55488376
Yep. Well, it is only 200 dollar so not much is lust thankfully
>>55488408
the timestamp kind of gives away that this is the first time i've posted that image. do you repeat posts back at people a lot? do people suggest this autism/echolalia connection to you often?
>>55487638

How awful
Cant you guys go back to your phone threads and AMD threads?
Is it viable to install macOS Sierra with the installer located on an external USB drive?
I've never some it like that before, and it would be more convenient since I wouldn't need to clean up as much space from the internal drive
>>55491852
isn't that how it's normally done?
>>55491929
I got my laptop with mountain lion, and every update since then I downloaded the installer to the main drive and just installed it from there
Problem is this installer requires a big amount of free space, which is too Mich for my tiny 64gb ssd
So I'm thinking on just copying the installer to an external drive and execute it from there
I could make a bootable installer on a USB stick but it takes forever
>>55492193
Oh... AFAIK, you can't do exactly that (copy the .app)
you'd HAVE to make a bootable installer
Can I really install Hackintosh on an AMD processor?
>>55492232
What makes me wonder this is that once you open the installer, it takes around 10 mins as it seemingly prepares the files needed for installation, so maaaaybe it does work
>>55492389
yes, with modified kernel
COULD be pretty stable
>>55492519
Why is the modified kernel needed, exactly?
I thought these processor aren't that different
>>55492589
actually, os x needs a lot of custom processor instructions (? or how are they called), so even older Intel CPUs and some new CPUs like some Cerelons or Pentiums are not supported.
You need HPET, SSSE3 and some others
and really there even more little differences between amd and intel cpus
afaik os x's kernel checks for CPU too
>>55492232
ok so i just found out that you can indeed do something like this
when you open the installer, it copies data to some folder in your mac into a folder called "os x install files"
it seems pretty obvious then
i guess the conclusion is that it doesnt really matter where the installer is located, since the files needed for installation are going to be copied to the target drive anyways
>>55492785
I thought it spouted errors when run on a disk it didn't like
How hard would it be for me to Hackintosh? R9 390, i5 4590, and SSD here.
>>55493861
Pretty easy. You should post your motherboard too since it matters a lot. Non-reference r9 390s may cause some problems though.
Anyone know if they got that amd fx graphical big fixed?
>>55493917
MSI r9 390 and MSI h97 pc mate mobo
