I have a 2022 Dell Precision 5570 - max spec with 12th gen i9, 64 GB, Quadro RTX - that I run Linux on and use for computer vision, physics simulations, and other software dev work. Besides this, I also have a 2017 13" MacBook Pro I carry around (since it is light, and I don't want to risk damaging my shiny new expensive Dell)
I would like to try some mobile app dev for iOS. However, the old 2017 MBP struggles under all but the least demanding of tasks, and can't run smoothly for sw dev (it is base spec, i5/8gb/128gb). I would like to use the power of my newer laptop for this, but I haven't found any hackintoshes posted of my laptop model here.
What I would like to know is:
1) Will the newer 12-th generation and RTX 30 series work well in MacOS? (things like the scheduling taking advantage of the hybrid system architecture with big and little cores)
2) Newer Dell laptops like mine have soldered Wi-Fi cards, and I've seen many posts here that advise changing the card. Has anyone got it working on an Intel AX211 Wi-Fi card?
3) How will I manage the laptop's health? The laptop has an overheating problem under heavy load, but in Linux, I can override the fan to maximum speed and undervolt the CPU to prevent the machine from cooking itself. Windows and Linux have things to prevent the OLED screen from burning in, but I haven't seen anything similar on MacOS, since Apple doesn't sell laptops with OLED screens.
4) Is it possible to get triple boot working on the same SSD? I have my SSD currently with Windows 11 and Linux dual-booted on it (Linux for SW dev, Windows for CAD work and gaming).
TL;DR will it be feasible to get mac os on my newer Dell laptop for faster build times and smoother IOS development experience or is it better to just deal with the slower 2017 MacBook?
Thanks in advance for answering, I am not that experienced with hackintoshes.
