    Had Ubuntu for a decade then got bored and turned my hp Spectre laptop into a Hackintosh and got hooked. So it’s macOS now.

      Is it difficult to install and maintain that? I’ve been wanting to try it

        That depends on your hardware. It was very fiddly to get it going because the WiFi module in the Spectre wasn’t supported at first. But then someone released a driver for it. I also had to read a lot into the documentation and discussions to get my config together. But once that was done, it ran almost like a normal Macbook Pro and I barely had to touch the OpenCore config.

        (OpenCore is a bootloader that changes things in memory so your laptop appears like an Apple device to macOS. You then use the normal macOS, can download macOS updates, etc.)

        Here’s my config for the hp Spectre x360 13-4104ng for reference.
