So the first BETA of macOS 10.13.4 is out for developers. And according to the documentation of it, it will start warning the user when he opens a 32-bit app, that it will soon stop working.
And also using the boot arg "-no32exec" on 10.13.4 will make 32-bit apps not run at all.
How does this affect hackintoshing in general?
Personally I think this is a terrible move, however the document doesn't clarify if this will only be for App Store Apps or for all in general, because the document also states "To prepare for a future release of macOS in which 32-bit software will no longer run without compromise." So does that mean that 32-bit apps will still run but with performance compromised?
This is so dumb, on iOS it was fine since its a mobile platform and it is "easier" for registered devs to just rebuild their app, however on macOS we have a gigantic number of Apps that are Old and work fine on current version of it, a example that comes to mind if Guitar Hero 3 for Mac, a great and old game that runs perfectly and will never see the light of an update again.
Imagine if Microsoft decides to kill 32-bit apps as well, more then half of legacy software that works fine will be killed of for no reason.
