Laptop doesn't see opencore
You need to manually copy the EFI folder from your pendrive to your system's EFI partition. Use MountEFI made by u/CorpNewt to mount your system's EFI partition.

Getting mac prohibitory symbol when trying to boot without USB
It's a red flag that GUID_partition_scheme is not displayed under Type on diskutil list for my Ventura install (but it's displayed in Disk Utility, I can see GUID Partition Map on Device Information => Scheme for Ventura partition). The EFI partition is also not displayed in my Ventura partition on diskutil list, which is weird, because I'm able to use Mount EFI on it.

Intel i3 8100 & UHD 630 | macOS Monterey
Once I added the "BlueToolFixup.kext" in the EFI folder (using MountEFI: https://github.com/corpnewt/MountEFI), it was time to update from macOS Catalina to Monterey. The update process was successful, and after disabling SIP (as instructed by chris1111 -author of Wireless-USB-BigSur-Adapter-.), everything worked fine.

Cannot contact the server
Use tools like Mount EFI script or what you prefer.

reboot
You need to mount your EFI partition (find a tool online or use command line). In it you should find "EFI/OC/config.plist". Open the file with Propertree or another plist editor and make the changes.

Topaz Gigapixel
Has anyone had a problem running Topaz Gigapixel on AMD chips? Mine won't load, wondered if there was a fix, much like Amdfriend does for Adobe apps. Thanks

What are the apps that will not run or runs unstably with Ryzentosh?

Ryzentosh ~ Ventura 13.3 ~ Ryzen 5 5600x ~ RX 5600XT ~ B550 ~ OC 0.9.1 ~
First thing i needed to patch (as a photographer) was the ability to use Adobe Software on Ryzentosh. That was done using AMDFriend script to patch the libraries so the apps think its an Intel processor as there is no real Mac out there using an AMD cpu. https://github.com/NyaomiDEV/AMDFriend

AMD Photoshop crashing
You just need AMDFriend :) https://github.com/NyaomiDEV/AMDFriend to patch your app I would do in this way:

What things don't work on Ryzen currently?
Issues with Adobe have been solved thanks to the great AMDFriend script. Even the notoriously crashy neural filters work flawlessly now. I understand that some audio plugins like Waves are a mixed bag. If audio production is your planned use, I would stick to an Intel based system.
What are some alternatives?
