Hackintosh Skylake with OpenCore bootloader
Skylake Desktop Hackintosh (i5 6600K)
OpenCore bootloader config files for my workstation hackintosh.
Intel iGPU is used for primary display even though my rig has a NVIDIA RTX 2080 since it doesn't have supported drivers ๐. I should sell my RTX and buy a compatible AMD card.
