How do you guys do it?

I just tried to turn my machine into a hackintosh (ironically to play games on it, civ 6 still doesn't have cross play and my friend's got a mac). I feel like I'm a different person now. Grizzled. Angry. I think I've had happier days but I can't... quite remember.

Hours of troubleshooting. Multiple times starting from scratch. Every "beginners guide" from now going back to 2012. I've learned more about computer architecture in the last two days than I have in my life, and I'm majoring in goddamn computer science.

I got to a point where I was surrounded by computer guts yanked out to make my life simpler, my eyes were red and puffy cause my clover theme is a bright gray and I've been staring at it forever, and I was reading about how USB 3.0s are actually two ports in one or something? And macOS can't handle that shit, no way, it'll crash if you even think about touching that USB port.

Well, Apple's done it. They've frightened me away from using third party hardware, the sons-a-bitches. But what I really want to know is, how do you guys keep on fighting the good fight? When all you see is errors for miles, what keeps you trekking through kexts, wading through plists, and hacking your way through such dense output every time Apple changes their operating system? I really admire the dedication.
