I was wondering if it's possible to create a backup of my system (for upgrade purposes, etc) using the "dd" command line program in Linux. I've seen a million articles about using CCCloner and other stuff, but it really seems like I should be able to use dd to make an image of the drive that I...

I just learned about the XOSI patch (still learning) and suspect that this is a better way for me to implement OS Identification on my Dell Latitude E6410. My unpatched DSDT (attached) includes _OSI("Linux") calls, but I don't see "Linux" listed in Rehabman's SSDT_XOSI.dsl samples that I have...

This is my way of saying goodbye to the Hackintosh community for good as I can't stand a mediocre operating system that crashes at least 3-4 times a day, deny updates and a company that won't provide support for NVIDIA drivers anymore. I already moved to Android a year ago, and have Windows...

Hello, everyone! I just needed a quick word of advice from the Hackintosh gurus in this forum regarding a triple-boot macOS Mojave, Windows 10 Professional, and Linux system I am building.

Hey all, I am not currently actually working on a Hackintosh, but there doesn't seem to be any other community with as much knowledge of the DSDT process as this one, so I hope you guys won't mind answering a question for me. Currently, I am working on compiling a custom DSDT for Arch Linux...

Is it possible to rename a Linux EFI boot entry in Clover? I have used Clover Configurator on the Mount EFI tab to identify the Disk UUID (the Volume UUID shows 'N/A') of the Linux partition, but if I create a custom boot entry for it to rename it (using 'Linux', 'All Linux Kernal' or 'Other' as...

Hello, I have Windows and Linux in separated drives and wanted to boot them from Clover. When I Clover shows up, I see many options to choose from, but none of them actually boot the operating systems, instead they show the logo and get stuck there. How can I set up to boot from Linux and...

So, I installed a new 400GB HDD into my PC and installed Mint Linux v19 onto it. During the installation I selected "sdd" for the grub bootloader and "sdd1" for the "/" of the Mint installation. Now, when I start my PC, the grub bootloader is appearing instead of Clover. I have three options...

Hello, I've installed Unibeast 8.2 in a USB drive. Found out later that I needed to do the workaround. Unfortunately, I won't have access to a MacOS for quite some time, and I only have a Linux OS available at the moment. I'm not very experienced with Linux, and I'm not being able to delete the...

recently tried Linux Mint on my old 2008 iMac 20" it installed fine, ran well enough, hardware worked etc. Problem is - the iMac runs way hotter that it does on any Mac OS and, even Win7, when slightly tweaked on the iMac, runs almost as cool. Years ago i had overheating problems with various...
