OpenCore-Install-Guide VS Patch-HD4000-Monterey

Check dortania’s open core guide

To keep costs down, Keep an eye on local market place and classified sites for a cheapish gaming PC with an AMD card in it (RX’s 5700 / 5700xt / 5600xt / 6600xt / 6600). Look up the parts here on Reddit and https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/ to see if people have problems or methods needed to make them work.

Idk much about amd gpu support but u can check it on Dortania’s open core guide which I highly recommend you to follow

Btw u can follow this https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/

I have similar setup (i7 8700K, 5700XT, Asus Prime Z370-a), everything works, no issues (wifi with OCLP patches). All you need is here: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/

Go through the Dortania Guide.

I exclusively used OpenCore Dortanias Guide. I also useed OC 0.9.5

Almost everything is working properly, except I can't boot into OS without mouse and charger plugged, OC throws some error and restarts to OC boot menu. Also I can't get VGA port working since Apple doesn't support this anymore. Bluetooth and Touchpad/Trackpoint should work fine, but I can't check that since I have these parts hardware broken. I was able to get iGPU work by updating from Big Sur and installing [Patch HD4000](https://github.com/chris1111/Patch-HD4000-Monterey). I have an Intel AC-7260 Wi-Fi card if someone would be interested.

Try to follow these instructions (link1, link2). Updating from Big Sur is better method, also you should disable SIP in recovery mode before updating. And it works pretty well on my X230 (should work on other laptops too). Only main disadvantage of this patching I can't re-enable because it's breaking my installation.

It's a bit tricky, but it's possible to get it work. You can try follow these two instructions (link1, link2). I tried it on my X230 (I think it also applies to other laptops) and Monterey works pretty well (except I have to have SIP disabled).

(1) not interested to use this hack

And these Patches for the iGPU: https://github.com/chris1111/Patch-HD4000-Monterey

If you used https://github.com/chris1111/Patch-HD4000-Monterey for your patch, try seeing what they say in the repo or try asking there.

How would running Montery with it's memory leak issue help me??? All of that requires disabling SIP too. Not practical from a security standpoint. I'd have to manaully patch the Intel HD4000 driver into the OS with this: https://github.com/chris1111/Patch-HD4000-Monterey. This is hardly a "solution" when Ubuntu works fine out of the box.

Bringing over some Big Sur components will get the HD 4000 working but you’d be doing surgery on the system files: https://github.com/chris1111/Patch-HD4000-Monterey
