Yeah part of why I stopped using Hackintosh was that it was a chore to maintain across operating system versions. When it worked, it was just as good if not better than Intel Macs of the time thanks to desktop level performance without paying through the nose for server grade stuff of the Mac Pro.Just saying, I’ve been there myself. It’s a time suck to track down things that randomly stop working and it’s hard to get any kind of help from people when they know you’re going rogue on unsupported machines.
Same goes for all my friends who were on Hackintosh’s and custom builds. Literally every single one of them is just on a newer Mac now, the amount of fudging around just becomes too annoying and sucks too much time.
If someone can afford to spend money on full suite of plugins, then a new computer isn’t going to be the end of the world. Plenty of very good monitors and hard drives going cheap these days too, spending $100 here and there for shit that actually works as intended is a no brainer (vs buying more plugins just to delay the inevitable).
Now that there's more viable desktop Mac options there's not as much reason to run Hackintosh. Macs running M2 and up don't have that many drawbacks. M1's lack of HDMI 2.1 severely limits external display support.
