Great for Macs, but AFAIK Hackintoshes require modification of the system itself, no? How does one do that on a read-only volume? (Also, I dislike APFS and much prefer the old HFS+ file system.)
IIRC Apple's "Apple Graphics Device Policy" had to be modified to solve graphics problems with some Nvidia cards (just from memory). Also a few System/Library/Extensions needed to be added way back when, although maybe now /Library is the repository for everything Hack-related; hopefully that will be retained as read/write. And what about Toleda's audio fixes? Do those reside completely in the boot loader? I recall some very fancy changes made by Terminal.
How did you manage to get rid of it? The only way I could get rid of it on a friend's computer was by wiping the drive and reinstalling macOS.I've rescued many Mac users from a certain app (that starts with M and ends with r) taking over their MBP, Mac Mini or iMac. (I'm not spelling out the full name for liability reasons.) You probably know what I'm talking about. It's a utility that promises to clean up your Mac, protect it and make it faster. It really does a lot of damage to system files and removing it with brute force techniques often leaves the Mac un-bootable. Eventually a clean install is needed to fix it completely. So in this scenario it will be a good thing that malware can't modify the Catalina system files. I'm all for it.
