Hackintoshing is the process of installing macOS on a non-Apple computer, usually a custom-built PC or laptop. It allows users to experience the Mac operating system without buying a Mac device. Hackintoshing can be a fun and educational project, especially for tech enthusiasts who enjoy customizing their machines. However, it often requires careful hardware selection, software patches, and troubleshooting to make everything work smoothly. While it offers a cheaper way to use macOS, hackintoshing may come with limitations like lack of updates, driver issues, or legal concerns, since macOS is designed to run only on Apple hardware.
