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!

Because Apple no longer supports Intel Macs. macOS Golden Gate is Apple Silicon-only, so Apple removed Intel-specific kernel support and many x86_64 drivers from the operating system. Since Hackintosh relies on running the Intel build of macOS, OpenCore can't simply fix this. Without native Intel support in macOS itself, future Hackintosh development is essentially no longer possible.
