Not without a lot of messing around. With Intel you can pretty much just straight install macOS + Clover + FakeSMC and you're golden. With Ryzen you have to start messing around with custom kernels, which means updates will break things and also means a lot of programs won't work.

Last I checked a lot of progress had been made, but you're unable to run any 32-bit applications and some software such as the Adobe Creative Suite simply won't run.



I too thought it was hard, but recently found this that supposedly makes it way easier: https://kb.amd-osx.com/guides/HS/

I'm considering a new ryzen hackintosh build in july!


Going to give it one, single try... then I'm on to Linux as my primary. Will have a Windows VM for some work, and may keep a mac VM as well. Most of the stuff I do works fine in Linux, and it really looks like Manjaro and Pop_OS! have made a lot of progress beyond the general dev stuff I work on (mostly via Docker/Linux anyway).


I worry a bit about stability...


Oh yea, I wouldn't want to do that. I use a hackintosh but with an intel CPU and it just works flawlessly except for the whole NVidia GPU holding me back.
