Just got mine on the Presidents' Day sale. Not Linux rn but as a Hackintosh it's working pretty well apart from SD card reader, not reading fan sensors in iStat Menus / HWMonitor / Mac Fan Control and slow WiFi after sleep. iMessage, FaceTime, most Synaptics gestures working fine.

- 20L5

- WQHD

- larger extended battery

- Quad-core i7-5550U

- lighted keyboard

- 16 GiB (will upgrade later to 32 or 64 if unofficially-supported)

- Swapped WiFi to DW1830 and added a third antenna

- Samsung 970 Pro 1 TB + Lenovo SSD tray (took off the retail SSD label on one side for the heat-spreader thermal adhesive)

Looking on Amazon/eBay/AliExpress for vinyl art (Banksy perhaps) to cover up the ThinkPad logo or maybe having it vinyl wrapped with the stuff used on cars (heat-shrunk).

How much of an effort was it to get MacOS in there? Did you follow a tutorial?
