Just finished this build this evening, Its my first OpenCore build (I have done a couple of Clover Builds before). Once I got my head round creating the OpenCore config.plist file it was straight forward.

The system boots up nice and quick and seems stable and very snappy.

As far as I can see at the moment pretty much everything is working (USB ports, iMessage, iCloud, App Store, Sound, Sleep)

For Bluetooth I'm using a USB adapter, I've also tried a USB wifi that seems to work as well, but it will spend most of its life on an ethernet cable.

And I finished it off using the apple migration assistant to pull in files, app's and settings from a TimeMachine back-up
