Installation

Please follow the OpenCore guide to create a bootable USB. Then replace the EFI folder with mine.

Note: it is normal to have screen flickering during installation.

Post installation

  • Enable HiDPI (optional): the default setting only supports HiDPI given a certain resolution. To enable more HiDPI options, I used BetterDisplay and enabled the smooth scaling feature. You can also try one-key-hidpi.
  • Wireless Network: I use itlwm, don't forget to install HeliPort to manage the wireless network.
  • Change SMBIOS: Please do not use the same SMBIOS as mine. Generate your own SMBIOS with GenSMBIOS.
  • Disable MacOS Sleep: I disabled sleep because it cannot wake up from sleep. You can disable sleep by running the following command in the terminal. sudo pmset -a disablesleep 1
