How to Fix Updating to Big Sur (Noob Question)

This mini-guide provides a structural approach to troubleshoot and fix the issue.

Prerequisites

  • Confirm your hardware specifications (CPU, GPU, Motherboard).
  • Ensure you have a bootable recovery USB and backup your EFI.

Fix Steps

  1. Check if your GPU requires WhateverGreen or specific boot-args (e.g., agdpmod=pikera).
  2. Ensure Metal acceleration is fully supported for your macOS version.
  3. Update Lilu and WhateverGreen to the latest versions.

Verification

  • Reboot and verify if the functionality is restored and stable under typical usage.

Original Question:

I have a coffee lake processor, i5 8600k, and rx 580 graphics card. I have been on Catalina for awhile solely based on me being scared to update Bc when I was on clover every time I tried it would never work and I had to clean install. So my question is, can I just update through App Store assuming that my open core is updated or do I have to make changes to my Config? Thanks guys. Any replies help
