anlomedadMaybe I should think about moving my Macbook's operating system to Linux. I keep running into such problems like above with the, by now 8 year old operating system that is no longer supported by Apple. Updating it would be possible to a certain, also not current version. But I don't want to make the required change in the drive format that comes after my old version 10.13.6. And anyway, I'd lose a few apps which wouldn't run on a MacOS newer than 10.13.This machine itself probably runs just fine for another 3-5 years. Would be grand to avoid buying new (or 2nd hand) earlier than necessary. So if I lose those old apps anyway, I maybe prefer to get used to Linux and to the apps on Linux rather than falling into another proprietary OS trap. And a small partition on the side can still be reserved for MacOS 10.13 – if not even simply starting it as a Virtual Box directly from a Linux-booted system. I haven't heard of Linux-ifying a Mac before. Heard of <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Hackintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Hackintosh</a> of course, which is the other way round, turning a non-Apple device into a Mac . If that works with all the drivers for audio, network and stuff, it should work in the opposite direction as well. Hope the process is not too involved. My poor brain can't handle solving self-created computer problems...

Orange Lantern :verifiedbisexual: Are there people here who have experience with setting up a Hackintosh? :silver_sweetsapplepie: Or maybe know of some useful online resources for it? I'm trying to flee Windows but Linux doesn't work for me (pls don't argue with me about this :silvervale_prays: ). I have a Mac sitting next to my PC but it is getting old and it's starting to show. And I really don't want to buy a new Mac. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated. 🧡 I admit, I'm a bit stumped about where to start.

Wenzel 💚I remember when people built <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/Hackintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Hackintosh</a> -es, because Apple's hardware was disappointing and expensive but their OS was great. These days, Id like to install a stable Linux distribution on my <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/Mac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mac</a>, because the hardware is awesome, but <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/macOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#macOS</a> is in a very poor state.

Ernie SmithGot my Proxmox <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/Hackintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Hackintosh</a> back up and running, and with the right elements it’s a decent experience. The only downside is that Apple has locked down Mac so much that the newest OS my Xeon supports is Monterey. It runs great though.I would like to use it for graphics stuff for those times I actually need Adobe stuff. I was using Parsec for a while, but it does not play nicely with it; finding Nomachine works pretty well, though.
