Tahoe 26.3 on Xeon X99 - Fully Workable

SUCCESS

I use this one as personal workstation and was thinking about buying a MacMini... But hey, I didn't want to have less RAM...

So I tried to see if it was capable of running Tahoe for more couple of years... and surprise... it fully supports my workflow! Woohoo!!!!

What didn't work?

ALC892 disabled, using radeon displayport as sound output.
Broadcom Wifi not working - using Realtek Gigabit card.
Virtualization - Android Simulator / Virtualbox / VMWare Fusion

What is working?

NootRX - Radeon 6750XT - Metal 3 - 100% perfect full acceleration
USB ports (2.0 / 3.0)
NVMe drives / SATA drives / Raid
Linux docker containers

r/hackintosh Rules

No excessive profanity

We like to try and keep this subreddit clean. Please refrain from the use of excessive profanity.

No piracy or links to torrents of P2P of copyright material

Please refrain from advocating piracy in this subreddit. For legal reasons, we want to avoid such links.

Flag your post with a flair

Please flair your post so that it accurately reflects what the post's contents are.

Questions Must Have Adequate Information

You must provide the thread with information about your build, to know more on what you're required to share, check this section of the FAQ : https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/comments/slhprk/modpost_rhackintosh_rules_clarifications_and_more/

Search Before Posting

If your question has already been posted before (even if not by you), please make sure to read the other post before posting. In the event it doesn't answer your question/problem, please link prior post you read and then ask about what you don't understand. Low effort posts will be removed.

No distro/beast tools/OpCore Simplify

We do not not support the use of tools such as UniBeast and Multibeast and distros such as iAtkos, Niresh, and Olarila. Tools like OpenCore Configurator and OpCore Simplify also fall into this category. These tools do more damage than good as they don't teach you what you're doing and can also damage macOS itself with unneeded framework changes.

The Dortania guide provides ways to install macOS without a Mac device with macOS sourced from Apple directly.

No self-promotion or soliciting paid work

Please keep all paid services and advertisements off the subreddit. This subreddit should not be used as a platform to solicit or offer paid help. We are focused on free help, given that the process of hackintoshing is comprised of free open-source materials.

No Mac, VM, or OCLP posts

Regardless of what methods were used for installing, we are a subreddit focused on PC hardware running macOS. Posts related to virtual machines, real Macs, and Opencore Legacy Patcher (on real Macs) will be removed.

Don't distribute EFIs

Do not share your EFI folders, instead point users to the subreddit's vanilla guides. If you would like to share your work, document the specific items required to build your Hackintosh that were not covered in the guide instead. Pre-baked EFI posts will be removed as they are not guaranteed to work and they spread a low-effort sentiment in the Hackintosh community.

Note: You can share your EFI for help requests purposes, but you cannot send EFIs to the requester as a way of helping.

No Youtube Guides

While we understand some users may be more visual learners, please understand that most(if not all) youtube guides either:

Steal the work of others and hide behind paywalls
Become easily outdated
Largely incorrect and spreading false info

So we highly discourage uses of these videos, instead much preferring users follow the written guides in our FAQ and Sidebar. The main offenders of these types of videos are from TechNolli, Morgonaut, TechTunerLife.

Beta/Alpha Software is unsupported

Because alpha/beta software is full of bugs, supporting beta software makes it difficult to troubleshoot issues. Please avoid posting about beta software help until it has reached GM.

Success posts of these softwares are welcomed with proper documentation and [IT BOOTS! (WIP)] flair. Help and questions posts will be removed.

Unrelated Posts and Memes

Unrelated subjects and memes are not allowed in this subreddit. This sub is mainly for help and information sharing about hackintoshing. The mods reserve the right to remove any post that is of low quality or unrelated to the subreddit, even if it is related to hackintoshing.

No NSFW Content

Even if the rest of the post abides by the rules, do not post NSFW materials.

No AI/LLM Usage For Help

Use of LLMs (i.e. Gemini, Grok, ChatGPT) for troubleshooting or creating EFIs is not allowed. There is a 99.9% chance that the generated configuration will be incorrect, and furthermore we do not support pre-generated configurations.

What is a Hackintosh?

A Hackintosh is a non-Apple computer that runs macOS.

AMD USERS READ THIS: While it may be more work, the AMD hackintosh scene has gotten quite a bit easier. Do note we're primarily an intel subreddit but feel free to ask questions relating to AMD based systems. (AMD Laptops and AMD integrated GPUs are unsupported)
- You can find the AMD OS X discord here
- OpenCore Install Guide
macOS INSTALLERS NOTE: This sub is dedicated to legally obtained copies of macOS. Please do not ask, or post, about things like iAtkos, Niresh, Olarila or any other modified macOS installer that may be compromised!
Pre-Built EFI NOTE: We provide minimal to no support for Pre-Built EFIs from GitHub, Hackintosher and such due to generally being heavily outdated, poorly made and users not knowing what their hackintoshes are doing. You may still ask for help but please be prepared to remake your EFI from scratch following the Vanilla Guide
UniBeast and Multibeast NOTE: Unfortunately we do not support the use of beast tools due to being closed sourced, can modify macOS files and users largely not know what these tools are doing(more info here). You will be requested to restart your installation following the Vanilla guide to properly learn hackintoshing or face public humiliation and be stuck with your broken Hackintosh

Check out the brand-new FAQ! Don't ask before you read it fully, twice.

Make sure you post your Hackintosh's specifications when you ask questions. (Posting guidelines in the FAQ or further down the sidebar)

Regarding info/guides posted to this subreddit, we reserve all right to remove posts we feel either break the rules, provide poor info or redirects to other poorly made guides. Please understand that we want to keep the subreddit clean and a place where people don't have to worry about getting false info
