Thanks for this guide. Now that the 4090 came out, think I'm gonna "retire" my Z490P/10900K/3080 machine to serve as my studio Hackintosh to replace the aging but venerable 2009 Mac Pro. I just don't have it "in me" to flash its firmware and upgrade its OS from one obsolete macOS version to another—what's the point? It's still happily still running 10.8, and aside from not recognizing HDR images/videos, HEIC, etc. it's literally perfect.
I mean, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. But after those plastic things broke that were holding my heat sinks to the board, and I replaced them with metal screws, I've had a sinking feeling that it was plastic for a reason. Anyway, hence the Hackintosh.
Typically with my Hackintoshes, I get them up and running and then never touch the OS again. What's the point? Our days of having Intel-supported versions of MacOS are limited anyway, but I can tell you I feel pretty stupid for buying an M1 Mac—yeah the 3 programs that are native for it, run extremely well, and it gets great battery life. But by the time that a decent amount of software is natively available for it, the M2 will already be out. I guess that's the price of being an early adopter.
Think I should sell it, but I like to keep a current-era laptop for development and to have the latest OS.
