How to Fix Fresh Install or Update existing

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:

Hey Folks!

Been a long time, as my Hack has been flawless since building it and running updates.

But the time has come to move to Big Sur - I have software that is no longer supporting or running on 10.13 :cry:

Just picked up a MSI AMD Radeon RX 580 Armour in preparation for the swap but I have a question...

What's the best advice - do a fresh install from the beginning or do an update via the App Store?

Cheers and many thanks in advance.

Gerard
