2010 Unibody MacBook Firmware Question
I might have pushed my 2010 MacBook a bit too far. Back in 2020 I installed DosDude1's Catalina patcher on my 2010 Unibody MacBook and it worked great! Then, I learned of [this](https://github.com/barrykn/big-sur-micropatcher) new patcher tool that would enable my 2010 MacBook to run Big Sur, albeit slowly. Ever since then I've noticed some odd quirks about my machine. To clarify, it is still working, just not 100%.

Hey guys , I was wondering if it was still worth trying to update my mid 2012 macbook air to big sur with the patcher. I had planned on doing it but procrastinated and now it’s gone.
Also you could check out the micropatcher , I used it before switching to patched Sur and it worked for me.

Thanks for getting back to me. I created the usb using themicropatcher via another Mac as I previously used the usb to create the patch for Monterey. Should I try recreating the usb with patches Sur?

Is it safe to use Patched Sur and using it as my daily driver?
https://github.com/BenSova/Patched-Sur <- You can literally look at the code there also you can look at the code Open Core too. Not its not malware. It links to the other peoples git hubs that helped contribute to the initial project.
