I don't understand why you would want a hackintosh or a mackintosh for that matter. There's linux and openbsd. Sooo what's the advantage? Apple looking ui?

Commercial software on Unix system is appeal for many tech types that would dabble in hackintoshing. If you own some other Apple devices then integration becomes a big factor too. For me personally it's a taste of computing from the old days, I grew up in a world of C64s, Amigas, IBM compatibles. I used everything from FreeBSD, BeOS to hackintoshed MacOS and OpenIndiana as daily drivers. These days I use an M1 Air with MacOS since don't have that much free time.

Not being able to split screen without paying?
