Happy you are posting about hackintosh but generally sharing EFI folders isn’t at all best practice. Anyone who runs a hackintosh should learn how to build a proper config.plist with propertree for their own setup. Spread knowledge not scripts :)

Any references to tutorials for said proper config.plist designs?

I wish Apple would apin off their x86 OSX as a separate company. I would love to see it compete with Microsoft Windows.

They’re really a hardware company that builds appliances.

Microsoft is a software company that builds some hardware.

They’re coming from opposite directions.

Then OP would have 90% of their Github issues queue consist of "can't get XYZ to work" that's because something in the plist is broken and troubleshooting that can get very painful and annoying.

Why would they want to encourage people to buy x86 machines from vendors other than them?

Lure a wider class of people into buying things from the App Store to generate more recurring revenue? Make macOS a more promising alternative to Windows in the corporate space?

Not that they would encourage people to buy machines from anyone but them, but, for x86, at least they don't make any machine with those chips anymore.

Last time I checked it's not like they have excess inventory. And Macs are quite viable in the corporate space - so far, in the past 10 years or so, I have been issued precisely one Windows laptop. All other machines were Macs.
