Updated Clover using recommended procedure for going from 2.4 to 2.5. Installed latest versions of AppleALC, Lilu, WhateverGreen using command line, then updated directly from 10.14.5 to 10.15. No issues other than my Logitech unifying received stopped working (fixed with a firmware and software update, known issue).

I do have a SSDT set up, so USB 2 and 3 work correctly.

Hi jaabdad,
Can you show me the instruction to update clover? Please.
 
Catalina on TninkPad Yoga 12 works fine except that when turned on, the image ripples, but it is worth closing the lid of the laptop and opening again the image becomes normal. Someone can tell what is the reason?

Upgrade went smoothly enough here. On boot I had purple graphics and no sound, but reinstalling Whatevergreen, lilu and AppleALC did the trick.

I also had no internet, but when I went into network settings I found my Wireguard connection going haywire - jumping up and down the network priority list. Had to delete all the connections there, reboot and then add them again. Not sure if this is Hackintosh specific, Catalina generally or just a Wireguard problem, but thought id mention it in case anyone else has the same issue.
