Changes
- Support for macOS Big Sur Beta (see known issues below)
- SATA drive support on Big Sur (#287)
- Intel iGPU 4K stuttering fix (no AMD codec needed) (#262)
- Uninstall tweaks properly if option is de-selected in an upgrade (#307)
- Big Sur no longer has the screen flickering issue (#7) and therefore the workaround is no longer needed
Known Issues
macOS Big Sur is a major update. There are many issues known in macOS that is not related to Hackintosh or NUC. Please check with the Hackintosh community for workarounds. Other issues include:
- User patches not implemented in Lilu. Mainly this means DRM does not work and some HW codec may not work.
- macOS Big Sur installer cannot be patched by HaC Mini installer. Due to changes in the installer architecture, this is unlikely to be fixed. Until the guide is updated, you can install macOS 10.15 first with HaC Mini and then upgrade to macOS 11.
- MSI GK-701 driver is broken in Big Sur and will cause a kernel panic on boot
