What is MacOS?
macOS, previously known as Mac OS X and OS X, is a series of proprietary graphical operating systems developed and marketed by Apple Inc. for their Macintosh computers. It is the primary system software for Macintosh computers and provides a platform for running Mac applications. The latest version of macOS is macOS Ventura.
A Hackintosh ?
A Hackintosh is a computer that is built using non-Apple hardware, but has been modified to run macOS, which is the operating system used by Apple's Macintosh computers. This is done by installing a version of macOS on the non-Apple hardware and configuring it to work with the specific hardware components of the computer.
Hackintoshing can be a complex and technical process, as it involves creating a custom version of macOS that is compatible with the specific hardware components of the computer, such as the CPU, GPU, and motherboard. It also involves configuring the BIOS or UEFI firmware, and installing drivers and kexts (kernel extensions) to enable the operating system to work with the non-Apple hardware.
