My experience using Hackintosh low-end PC for 3 years

Really reminds us who are able to pickup RAM or a graphics card for a few quid that not everyone in the world is so lucky.<p>Very impressed with what Jhonny managed to do.<p>It does beg the question though - what&#x27;s next for Apple&#x27;s cheapest Mac, the Mini.<p>I think there is a real opportunity for Apple to release a low powered Mac Mini say the size of an Apple TV which is ARM based and allows schools, universities and folks unable to buy the latest and greatest to have a stable, Unix based development and media platform to work on.

Really interesting to hear this story and to leave the personal context to the end makes it even more impactful. The perseverance and creativity that this person obviously had to show to get this to work for so long are really inspiring, even if lots of other people have done similar things before. I really hope things get better for your country soon.

It is not true you cannot use Store or iCloud because it is not a real Mac. I have been running a hackintosh for half a year now and I use iCloud, Store even iMessage works.

Linux would provide support for old hardware far in excess of what Apple provides. It&#x27;s an OS for the many, not a priviledged few; and needs your support.<p>It&#x27;s​ also a big security gamble downloading these hacked OSX images from questionable sources.

&gt;Later on I got to read a lot about the Kexts that basically are the equivalent of the drivers in microsoft windows and <i>look for the ones that would serve me for my video card</i>, Everything worked fine.<p>&gt;A few months passed until Yosemite came out, with a renewed interface a lot of improvements, and even <i>included support for my set up</i><p>&gt;But I did the same again when buying my new <i>GT520 card</i>. And to this day everything has worked perfectly<p>This makes me wonder whether his hardware happened to be used in some Macs or Apple deliberately made those drivers for Hackintosh users?

Someone should send this guy an iMac

He isn&#x27;t missing much by not having the app store. I&#x27;ve used a mac as my primary computer at home for since before the app store opened in 2010 and have yet to find a indispensable app on the app store.

Is this a standard blog design or is the author of this post also a very creative designer? I am really impressed both by the content and the design of this post.
