After gathering all the required files (depending on which macOS version you target and which hardware you have), you need to make quite a few changes to the config.plist. This file basically describes how the PC should boot (you define custom flags) and how macOS will see your hardware (sometimes you must spoof the ID of some hardware to the ID of similar hardware that is by default supported in macOS). I think finding the correct values for the config.plist the hardest part of setting up a Hackintosh. With the Kext, Firmware Drivers and SSDTs it is pretty clear which versions you must choose in which situations. But with the config.plist there are a lot of things that are not clear when you are new or tradeoffs between compatibility and performance, so you must play around with it if your Hackintosh does not work as it should.

For instance, I found a kext that supports my Intel AX210 Wi-Fi/BT chip, but AirDrop still will not work. So if you want out-of-the-box AirDrop functionality you must buy an adapter that is similar to the one used in Apple devices.

<p>I have used Linux distros for many years, so I had a general idea of how to find my way around. But there were many small things that I liked and disliked, and I think it would be good to list them in random order:</p>
