OpenCore bootloader – open-sourced Apple UEFI drivers, enabling Hackintosh

I have a similar set up. I got some Thunderbolt dock for the mac and a USB input switcher that I connect all my peripherals to and can press a button to switch between the Macbook dock and my Windows PC. The only unoptimized part is I just use the DisplayPort input on my monitor for the PC and the HDMI input to the Macbook dock. So to swap all I have to do is press the button on the USB switcher and then change my monitor's input setting. Not quite one click switching, which could be done, but it's two clicks and cheaper than most KVM switches I've seen.

That sounds great! Can you please share some good models/links for the usb switcher thingy?

(I had no idea such a thing existed in the first place!)

Here's the one I got: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07T89NTXK

I can't vouch that it's not a keylogger given it sounds like some brand you'd find on AliExpress, but it does what it's supposed to do.

Since it's plugged into my desktop and I leave that running it's powered by that, but it also has a micro USB input for external power.
