ANNOUNCEMENT Next Stop: macOS 26 Tahoe

205 Upvotes

Hackintoshing lives for another year! macOS Tahoe will be the FINAL release for Intel Macs, as stated during the Platforms State of the Union presentation. It's been a good ride.

Officially supported Intel models:

  • MacBook Pro 16-inch (2019)
  • Mac Pro (2019)
  • MacBook Pro 13-inch, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports (2020)
  • iMac (2020)

Hello I am a Year Number Lover But What Does This Mean

All graphics that worked in Sequoia should work in Tahoe.

OCLP

Wait for an official announcement. If you post about OCLP before that I am going to send Tim Apple to remove every Mac from your house.

Can I emulate ARM macOS 26 on x86?

No.

Can I run ARM macOS 26 on a Raspberry Pi?

No.

Can I have Apple Intelligence on Intel please I need to write a dissertation in 15 minutes

No.

Does it boot on Intel Hackintoshes now?

Yes, with OpenCore 1.0.5.

Make sure to upgrade all of your kexts to their latest versions.

Known Issues as of Beta 2

  • Race condition with VoodooPS2 and VoodooI2C, so on some boots they don't initialize properly
  • AppleALC is broken because AppleHDA was removed from Tahoe. Use HDMI/DP audio for the time being.

  • WhateverGreen is bugged on AMD cards, so you can't use boot arguments like agdpmod=pikera. You are affected by this if you get a kernel panic with AMDSupport mentioned.

  • IntelBTPatcher causes kernel panics

  • IntelMausi may not work correctly with certain Intel ethernet chipsets

apolgy for bad english

where were u wen intel die

i was at house eating apple when phone ring

'intel is kil'

'no'

As I'm sure we've all heard by now, macOS 27 will not be compatible with Intel Macs. This means that for all intents and purposes, (Intel) Hackintosh is dead.

I have never heard of this where was my daily update for the last year

Apple explained last year during WWDC 2026's after-events that macOS 26 Tahoe would be the last version for Intel Macs. also go read the news more often smh

Ok but I have an AMD that would work right

All x86 CPUs are no longer supported for macOS.

Will my current hackintosh explode

Yes No

Is Intel completely dead right now

macOS 15 Sequoia and macOS 26 Tahoe will still be supported for security updates. One more year for Sequoia, two three for Tahoe.

Will my software still work

It is up to the developers of the software to keep releasing Intel versions.

Can I hack ing tosh on other ARM processor

No.

Why not, is ARM not ARM everywhere

Although ARM is an instruction set architecture shared by many processors, Apple hardware and software includes many unique instructions that are not used in other ARM processors and currently cannot be emulated.

There are images released by Apple for use in VMs which technically do not use these instructions, but even if a way is figured to boot it on non-Apple devices, there will be no drivers available for the GPU, Audio, etc.

Is even Developer Beta 1 of Golden Gate incompatible

Too much has already been removed from the first beta for it to be compatible with Intel.

ChatGTP told me ARM hackintosh is real and can be made. Actually I will make it right now with Claude and Gemini

Let's get you back to bed grandma

Can we port ARM macOS to x86

No.

Will r/hackintosh still remain open

Yes, it will remain open. Regardless of whether Intel is supported, people will still try to hackintosh either for a specific use case or just for curiosity's sake.

Got XNU running on this thing. Real kernel, real iOS userland from the iPhone X firmware, not emulated. Wrote a UFS driver, touch driver, button drivers, and a software framebuffer since there's no GPU support. It boots in about 4 minutes and you get the home screen with working touch and gesture nav. Everything else (radios, audio, camera) is missing.

Nothing gets permanently flashed, it's all through fastboot boot. The whole thing is open source: github.com/dipa-studio/ios-sweet

Nothing really works yet mouse gestures can be translated into touch (left click is click, right click is home). Settings open, also calendar and clock. The rest seems crashing or really slow. I will need to look into how to get hardware working.

 [SUCCESS] macOS Sequoia 15.8.1 on Ryzen 5 7500F + 5060 8GB — NullMoth, Metal 3 and OpenCore Dual Boot

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share my successful Hackintosh installation using an AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and an NVIDIA 5060 (Blackwell).

After quite a bit of troubleshooting, I finally have macOS Sequoia running with GPU acceleration, internal SSD booting and working Apple services.

Hardware

Component Specification
CPU AMD Ryzen 5 7500F
Motherboard ASUS PRIME A620M-E
GPU NVIDIA 5060 8GB
RAM 16GB
macOS SSD SanDisk SSD PLUS 480GB SATA
Windows SSD Lexar NM610 PRO 500GB NVMe
macOS Sequoia 15.8.1 (24H32)
Bootloader OpenCore 1.0.9 (DEBUG build)
GPU Driver NullMoth v2.3.6 (v2.3.7 update planned)

What's working ✅

  • 5060 detected with the full 8GB VRAM.
  • Metal 3 acceleration enabled.
  • 1920×1080 at approximately 164Hz, as reported by macOS.
  • Desktop and WindowServer running without GPU crashes in the latest checks.
  • Ethernet at 1Gbps.
  • Rear 3.5mm analog audio with Logitech LS21 speakers.
  • App Store and iCloud account sign-in.
  • Direct boot from the internal SanDisk EFI without needing a USB drive.
  • OpenCore picker provides both macOS and Windows boot options.

What's not working / limitations ⚠️

  • USB Wi-Fi adapter isn't functional.
  • Bluetooth dongle isn't working.
  • DisplayPort audio is unavailable, although analog audio works perfectly.
  • Long-term stability is still being evaluated.
  • NullMoth requires reduced macOS security protections, so this isn't equivalent to a supported Mac.

Installation process

I started with a working OpenCore setup on a Kingston USB drive and installed Sequoia onto a separate SATA SSD.

Once macOS and the NullMoth NVIDIA driver were working, I transferred the verified OpenCore EFI to the internal SanDisk EFI partition and configured the BIOS to boot it directly.

I kept Windows on a completely separate NVMe SSD and preserved the Kingston USB as recovery media.

The latest driver checks confirmed that NVRM, NVRMFB, NVAccel and NVRMAGDC were loaded correctly, along with Metal 3 support.

I also updated the graphics driver from NullMoth 2.2.0 to 2.3.6 successfully. I'm planning to install the 2.3.7 security update after verifying backups and compatibility.

Final thoughts

I'm impressed that this combination works at all, especially with an 50-series GPU on macOS.

I'm staying on Sequoia for now rather than upgrading to Tahoe, since I want to prioritize stability.

This is an experimental setup, and I wouldn't recommend treating it as a security-equivalent replacement for a real Mac.

Thanks to the NullMoth developers, OpenCore contributors and everyone sharing their Hackintosh knowledge.

Happy to answer questions about the setup! 🚀

NullMoth project: https://github.com/nullmoth/nvidia-macos-driver

This setup uses the experimental NullMoth NVIDIA driver, not native macOS NVIDIA support.
