Hi,

I'm going to build a Hackintosh after a few years. High Sierra desktop PC was my last Hackintosh.

If you have successfully built an Asus Vivobook Hackintosh, or If you have tried. Please help me by sharing your experience.


Questions in my head:

- As I know, now we don't have Nvidia web drivers for Mac OS Catalina and higher.

- If we don't have an Nvidia web driver, can we move forward with intel graphics? I love Mac OS as a graphic designer, Intel graphics enough for me! or should I keep windows 10 with Nvidia MX330? But many Macbook Pro 13 inch models only have Intel Iris graphics.

- Intel Iris Plus Graphics G7 (Ice Lake 64 EU) vs NVIDIA GeForce MX330 (https://technical.city/en/video/Iris-Plus-Graphics-G7-Ice-Lake-64-EU-vs-GeForce-MX330)

- if you think Intel graphics enough, How we can disable Nvidia GPU? There is no way to disable Nvidia graphics via bios. (Bios version 304).

- I don't have built a Hackintosh after a long time. Still, can I disable Nvidia with the nv_disable=1 boot flag?

- Finally, should I try to install Catalina or keep Windows 10? Can I successfully install Mac OS? Do you have a Vivobook Hackintosh? Share your thoughts, please.
