I had to unwillingly sell my m1 MacBook Pro months ago because finding work has been a struggle and it came down to selling anything of value.

The only compute I had after that was an old thinkpad x270, dual core with 8gb memory.

I ran Debian with kde for awhile, but I like the macOS workflows and key bindings too much. I like the quality polished native apps folks build. I like homebrew casks, etc. It’s running opencore and Sonoma right now. For me, it was a way to get the OS I am productive in while no longer being able to afford the expensive hardware.

I fear that with Apple making their own arm chips now, hackintoshes are on numbered days. It’s only a matter of time before the OS no longer runs on x86_64 and they are already starting to drop support here and there.
