It can do anything it wants on your computer. The first software that runs on your computer after it’s been powered on runs in absolute unrestricted security (“God”) mode. To me, the Apple experience doesn’t involve installing third-party UEFI and bootloaders. It’s deeply weird to me that I have to turn my MacBook into a Hackintosh to continue running Apple’s latest software. It can run on legacy Mac products and computers from other manufacturers. OpenCore works by replicating the behaviors MacOS expects from UEFI and iBoot on a supported Mac on an unsupported system. OpenCore is a free and open-source replacement for Apple UEFI and iBoot (Apple’s bootloader) software. Among other things it’s responsible for booting the OS, and it also provides services to the OS afterwards. The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface ( UEFI) is low-level software that sits in between the hardware’s firmware and the operating system ( OS) software. The current star in the Hackintosh community is the OpenCore UEFI emulator and bootloader project. That’s more of an encouragement than anything to dedicated folks who want to do exactly that.
Apple includes all sorts of software-based copy protections to make sure its software only runs on its hardware products. Sure, it has needed some maintenance and a battery swap, but it’s otherwise in good condition.Ī Hackintosh usually refers to a computer from another manufacturer running Apple software. However, the hardware is still perfectly capable of running Monterey. My MacBook Pro (a 2013 model) won’t receive any more love (updates) from Apple as the company left it behind with the release of MacOS version 12 “Monterey”. However, can you trust its community-developed software to the same degree as you blindly trust Apple? The Hackintosh scene, a community dedicated to running MacOS on unsupported hardware, might help extend the life of your Mac. Apple periodically drops support for its older hardware, and customers get left with an increasingly insecure and outdated system.
