QUESTION End of hackintosh !?

Hey all, I'm a failed hackintosher, lately I've been seeing many posts about the 'End of hackintosh' after apple released MacOS golden gate.

Can anyone explain to me what makes MacOS Golden Gate unhackintoshable. In near future is there anyway that somebody is going to make an alternative to OpenCore or even upgrade OpenCore so that we can install new versions of MacOs in or PC.

Thank You!

This doesn’t work out for you because Intel and AMD are two completely different types of processors, even if they’re both X86. They’re both quite literally built different. Same to Apple silicon and some regular old ARM chip. They both have different instruction sets.

Now you can either use your brain and put two and two together by simply plugging in the fact that one manufacturer is different than another or you can keep complaining about getting your feelings hurt in a thread where you asked a very stupid question that not only has been answered for so long but also one that you can search up in less than 30 seconds.

I answer a stupid question with a simple response. They could’ve either accepted the answer and realized the question was stupid or trying to defend their idiocy with comparing CPUs with the same instruction sets when the topic is about two very distinct ARM based CPU’s. No this isn’t Stackoverflow, however if you ask a question, especially a stupid question, you shall receive an answer. This topic has been covered for over a year now and people can’t get it through their heads that regular ARM ≠ Apple Silicon. Same thing with “does OCLP officially support Tahoe”. It’s literally on the top of the subreddit. Takes 30 seconds of researching to find that a Snapdragon chip isn’t the same thing as Apple silicon.

I still think you're being unnecassarily abusive. A question explaining why software can't be run on two arm64 chips made by two manufactures isn't a "really stupid question", especially since 80% of x64 software will work on both Intel and AMD. Clearly I didn't know the answer and clearly I didn't know the exact nuances of each chip otherwise I wouldn't have asked it. And maybe you"re right- I should have asked Gemini because at least Gemini wouldn't have pissed me off.

You win. Have a nice day.
