  • hackintosh-full-installer

    Repo for a script that can complete part of the task of creating a full Hackintosh installer entirely from Linux.

  • The main difference was I put together the steps to partition, format and add the macOS Catalina installation files I got from the Gib-MacOS tool to the installation USB key entirely in Ubuntu. This is the script I made although that version doesn't include the rsync command to add the other installation files into the SharedSupport folder in the hfs+ partition on the USB installer. After all that I got an installer that works and I have Catalina on one of my drives. so my method did work previously on the same computer it now doesn't work on.

  • You're following Dortania's OpenCore guide, yes? You may have to toss your old EFI and create a new one from scratch if you keep running into issues.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • If you don't feel like mucking about with OpenHfsPlus anymore, you could always just use the HfsPlus driver. I think it comes straight from Apple's closed-source EFI for Macs.
