it has become a little bit better (that is, you don't _always_ have to run perl-cleaner mid-update to successfully update your system)

(yes, i've gotten gpu passthrough to work, used it to play the famous walking simulator called alien:isolation before it came out on linux. it's a hacky workaround for when you can't get wine to work that you do when you're god drat desperate)

and another work-related tidbit about hackintoshes is that it's basically piracy from apple's viewpoint. so if you're doing it for work-related stuff then it might be something that you'd have to.. at least think about

wouldn't want your bespoke fart app booted from the apple store because it originated from non-apple hw (not that I know of any time that has ever happened in history, but why not, it's apple)

huh, my Linux printing experience has almost always been lovely wrappers around blobs that broke all the time on update, but printing is generally terrible

I don't understand how thats "extremely tedious," its like a 2 minute job (including reboot) this is a lame reply. setting up gentoo is a 2 minute job too if you know all the commands you'd have to chain. that you have spent hours and days of your life getting a hackintosh working (and therefore can do it again in 2 minutes) does not mean that other people should do the same. it really is a rats nest of random forum posts, and apple will do anything they can to throw a wrench in your bespoke "2 minute" setup as soon as they get the chance.

Apple hasn't exactly made it difficult to steal macos, It feels more like they have some gentlemans agreement with Microsoft not to compete in the generic shitbox market The EULA states: "you are granted a limited, non-exclusive license to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-branded computer at any one time." and that's why they include extra apple stickers in the box when you buy a mac. Just make sure to slap one on the case of your hackintosh

By "Chore" you mean "type lspci -nn", grab the ID's, setup one config file, and reboot? As far as 'stealing a legit mb serial', no you don't. https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/an-idiots-guide-to-imessage.196827/ Took about 10 minutes total.

just inherited an ancient laptop with only 256 mb of ram and an x86 (instead of amd64) cpu I think this really qualifies as an embedded system in tyool 2018 when phones have 4x or 8x the memory on the plus side, it has a com port and a modem interface. I tried installing lubuntu 12.04 and it choked during bringup, but it was using plymouth so I don’t 100% know why it failed but I bet it was the memory. Is there a *modern 2018* graphical linux distro that will work or do I have to resort to buildroot? Or should I try netbsd? should I turn it into a single node bbs server?

probably has a software driven modem, so modem drivers will be a crapshoot

failing that try the ultra light distros. you might want to try smth like puppy Linux or SliTaz, which should run completely in your ram, & even without installation the live media might be useful
