...he says to Signal's president

Final update probably, stuff works, barely enough to browse internet, but works, makes me want to learn proper hackintoshing with a bit newer hardware tbh

That stuff is slow AF, I might've overdone the power of Core 2 Duo in my head. Anyways downloading Big Sur :p

Aw yeah it booted to setup screen. Also if you're setting up High Sierra DO NOT LOG INTO ICLOUD (you'll be unable to accept Terms & Conditions)

Yay it says installing so finally something new, I'll update later when I get to something

The ominous beep came with a weird new progress bar, however after it rebooted itself it's back to the good ol' progress bar, I hope it's still doing something.

Btw here's the command for anyone interested (/Volumes/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/startosinstall --volume /Volumes/Macintosh) (how is that a link please don't click it yall, also damn where the heck is markdown code blocks)

ALRIGHT WTF IT JUST BEEPED IN THE MIDDLE OF UPDATING FROM TERMINAL TO HIGH SIERRA. Anyways, as you can probably tell I decided to go directly to High Sierra instead of El Capitan, this was planned anyway, but using terminal from El Capitan recovery was not part of the plan

Then I learned that you in fact cannot reinstall El Capitan anymore from the built in recovery mode, it returns 403 error as the recovery is online only and Apple doesn't host the images anymore. Then came the only solution of making a bootable USB-

So first things first, it came fully working (only a visual cracked glass, but it works) and installed with Snow Leopard, successfully updated to El Capitan, but as I bought it used I was unable to log in after the update. Then I went to recovery, erased the drive, and cluelessly tried to install it

Oh and off topic but in Snow Leopard there was no recovery environment, so you have to use Command + S to go recovery terminal with root. Here's a solution I used to change original password (that was quite stupid considering the keychain, could've just asked) apple.stackexchange.com/questions/36...

If you get it watch out for the kernel! It's been a big pain in the ass having mainline on mine with a bunch of features just being broken since over the years no one was maintaining them
