Install

OpenCore

The only way to go! The "new" hackintosh way. Run a proxmox VM using Nicholas Sherlock's awesome guides. See matcha for specific notes on my installation.

OS X on an actual MacBook

Dual boot on Mac hardware

WARNING: EVERY TIME I HAVE UPGRADED OS X TO A NEW RELEASE, IT HAS TRASHED MY LINUX BOOTABILITY. Don't do it until you have time for a full linux reinstall.

El Capitan

download and install via Appstore (had to find the download later in Applications folder)
- be careful, new OS X versions will wreak havoc on other partitions
bump XCode first-thing
- run it to get it to install additional components
- reboot
