What is Hackintosh ?

A Hackintosh is a Computer that runs Apple's Macintosh operating system macOS on non Apple Hardware

Note: Hackintosh is not illegal. Breaking an EULA is not a criminal offense. Even at home, you are still in breach of your agreement with Apple and their copyright. You are very unlikely to get sued over it if you keep it confined to home use.
