Despite being here since 2010 I have yet to grasp a good understanding of the different locations that kexts can exist in and whether there's a "right" place for them to be.
Back in the Chameleon days before Clover it may have been different, but keeping things relevant for the current macOS of today we seem to have:
EFI > CLOVER > kexts > 10.14
EFI > CLOVER > kexts > other
/ System / Extensions
/ System / Library / Extensions
From the point of view of keeping it clean and knowing where things are, I'd prefer to keep all my kexts as part of Clover - but even that raises the question of "10.14 or other" ?
And if I do use Clover for my kexts, should I be rebuilding the kext cache after installing or will a restart be sufficient?
Thanks
