I got an #OCLP install of #macOS #Sequoia running on the 2012 iMac, using an external 120GB SATA SSD in a Thunderbolt 2 enclosure.

It "runs", but boy is it slow! BlackMagic Disk Speed Test reckons it's writing at ~130MB/s, and reading at ~170MB/s.

I split the internal Fusion Drive and get ~200MB/s write/230MB/s read from the SSD, 200MB/s read, 170MB/s write. I have a 512GB NVMe SSD in a USB3 enclosure and get 400MB/s r/w on that, but the iMac won't boot from it 😕

Got a Mac Pro 6,1 as a gift. The "trash can" - 2013, 3.7 GHz Xeon E5, 32 GB RAM.

Installed macOS Sequoia on it via OCLP. Ran basically without issues.

Photos never do it justice. In person it's a genuinely beautiful piece of hardware.

Ah, result, Lightroom Classic 13 seems to work perfectly on #OCLP Seqouia with it's crappy Kepler GFX chip 👍

Well, further adventures with the #OCLP iMac running Sequoia are promising. It's settled down now iCloud indexing has finished (medianalysisd and suggestd were hammering it).

I've installed Lightroom on it; there's a little graphical corruption every now and again, but it disappears after a second or two.

@RonV42 The 2015 Macbook Pros are great for $150!

And they run Linux for the time after MacOS updates are discontinued for Intel (

What has Ample Computer done for us since 2015?
Nothing, really.

Dieses Script stoppt nervige „Update to #Tahoe“-Meldungen auf einem mit #OpenCore versehenen #Mac, der die bunte Glitzerwelt mangels #Metal-Grafikfähigkeiten gar nicht unterstützt. #OCLP #Legacy

Block the “Upgrade to Tahoe” alerts and System Settings indicator – The Robservatory

@thiccpaws Puh… Did you upgrade to Tahoe? I think that’s yet still not supported by #OCLP. Or am I wrong? My old MacBook Air suggested to me that I upgrade recently. Thank god I didn’t.

Do you have your hard drive encrypted?

#oclp #macos #intelmac

@orangeacme bad news! #OCLP probably supports it!

To my #macos bubble: I am running current macOS on my 2013 iMac using #oclp. I have a problem in that iCloud drive seems not be syncing. Just stays at 0kB and no network traffic. I restarted bird, but didn't help. Any other ideas?

EDIT: as if by magic, the Mac started syncing again. Who knows why it sometimes does this...
