How was it getting things working on your AMD hackintosh? I’m very, very tempted to switch to AMD when the new Ryzen chips land but obviously want to be able to run macOS.

I would be cautious about recommending hackintosh to the general public, but for any software guy or gal, it’s a walk in the park. You might need to debug some driver stuff but ultimately there is a possible, perfect state where everything works, given some prior preparation. Same for AMD.

For which there is a project on GitHub (OSX-KVM) which does all the hard work for you.
