Original Question:
Hi I'm running a lenovo t580 hackintosh on Catalina with opencore 0.6.5, I've read that certain kexts and solutions don't work/are broken when you update to Big Sur. I want to know if its worth updating to Big Sur and going through any problems that occur as I spent a while perfecting my current build as much as possible and its been stable ever since I've installed Catalina in the first place. Sorry if this questions seems dumb as I know some documentation has been released but I know every build experiences its own issues and I wanted to ask those who have already updated. Thanks in advance!
