Hi
Is it me or has it become increasingly difficult to build a fully functional hackintosh since the past couple of years or so?
I don't want to complain or anything but I remember I waited until 2012 to first try to set up a rig because the required knowledge and competance was just too high before that. Then there were what I would call "the Golden years" where all one had to know is to buy relatively compatible hardware (the choice was vast already) and check a few options in multibeast. At some point I was recommending the experience even to very tech unsavvy friends.
Now it seems to me that we need to go through very complex (for noobs) steps of patching stuff and looking for appropriate settings in a haystack to get crucial elements working, like IGPU or USB... There are much less things that are (or can be) automated apparently.
I wonder what happened. Is it Apple making things harder for the community in the hope of selling more hardware? Is it the variety of components becoming so great that there is just too many stuff to fix (I doubt that). Is there a desire of experimented hackintoshers and developers to prevent too unexperimented users from going on this journey (I doubt that too)
Let me know what you think and what you know.
Thank you very much in advance for your feedback.
Sincerely yours,
Old-ass A
