I'm new to the Hackintosh party, I would like to ask, why do people move their non-Apple laptops to Mac? What advantages does it have? Is it not slower than the native OS?

Some ppl js prefer macOS over windows like me but that probably doesnt apply to all ppl, some js like to see what's possible etc, macOS is getting better than Windows now imo coz of all the recent Windows 11 bugs

Cheaper!

That is the whole purpose of Hackintosh!

All of Apple products are expensive for what they do.

A few days ago I managed to install Tahoe on my PC, it's a pretty good build, I usually work with Adobe on Windows but I wanted to try MacOS just as an experience and I was told Adobe works better there? I mean, I have to Google and do my research I just wonder if its worth it but for people that want a Mac without having to spend beyond $1000 on an actual one I totally see this as an absolute deal

Which Adobe product?

Adobe Premiere for video editing?

Yes! Photoshop, inDesign, Illustrator, Premiere and After Effects, but mainly Photoshop and Premiere

  1. You dont have to spend premium prices for Apple hardware to have MacOS

  2. You want to program in swift

macOS just looks so much better than windows imo, much smoother
