Ben sova patched sur install#

I suggest you to install into a SSD driveĪfter near 15 min, the installer finish and ask you to reboot, click restart. When the script finish, execute the macOS Big Sur Installer clicking on its icon. From macOS Catalina, open a terminal and type:Ĭd ~/Downloads/bigmac-master (choose your correct location)

My steps to install Bug Sur on my Mac Pro with BigMac ? tool from my macOS Catalina 10.15.7:Ģ. I have removed the old bluetooth adapter and installed a new WiFi + Bluetooth (Broadcom).

My audience is not the people who will see this message, my audience is the person who just realized that their Mac is no longer supported, and especially those who don't want to do crazy things to try to restore it, but I'll keep code there for those who do see this message and want to restore their Mac their way. Whether they want to do it with a GUI or Terminal is their choice, whether they want to do it with premade kexts or their own kexts is their choice, I'm not here to limit, I'm here to show more people how much longer their Mac can survive.

If there's any other transparency or customization you want, just ask, I'm not doing this to get it done, I'm doing this to let people extend their Mac's life their way.

Keep on going, until macOS 12 comes out which I will try to make a seamless update from macOS 11, and keep on going from there. Finalize the app and bring it into something that gives the user the freedom to customize their Mac's kexts and similar while still making it easy for the people that just want Big Sur and don't really care to change up their kexts or what's on the installer USB.ħ. Work on in-depth documentation of everything Patched Sur does.Ħ. Finish the How It Works and Mac Compatibility sections in Patched Sur.ĥ. Fork the kexts so then I can control what the base kexts that Patched Sur ships with are (the user can still use BarryKN's if they want, but I want to make it easy for other users who haven't dived into this nearly as much as most people have, aka not you guys), and I no longer rely on BarryKN's micropatcher.Ĥ. Rewrite patch-kexts.sh to support whatever kexts the user wants to use whether this be their own fork, or not to use the WiFi kexts for some reason.ģ. Finish working on updating with startosinstall and clean installs by modifying the BaseSystem to have Patched Sur as an app.Ģ. Here's the plan for Patched Sur as I see it (add all of the bug fixes in between):ġ. I can assure you, there might be several source breaking changes before Patched Sur comes out, and rewriting the documentation each time does not sound like something I want to do. I'm not done, and I won't be for a while. From my understanding, this message is silently asking for transparency which I will give in time. In fact, the original plans for Patched Sur remove all of the code references completely. Happy thanksgiving to my favorite communityĬlick to expand.Yes, it uses a lot of code and references from the micropatcher, and I'm trying to eliminate as much as that as I can. Im grateful to you guys this thanksgiving and will be raising a beer in your name. And on a side note thank you all developers for making this possible. Please read through the forums and have an expectation if you move forward your machine is probably not going to be useable. Installing Big Sur on none metal graphics is futile.Only reason I'm saying all this is theres been a common occurrence of people not going through the forums and reading.installing and wondering why the lousy performance. Save yourself the time and stick to Catalina which will have a few more years of support.

Its extremely jittery and none responsive at times and its just overall a horrible experience.

Ben sova patched sur upgrade#

My Mac Pro runs beautifully under Big Sur because of a graphics upgrade but as an experiment I installed on the white MacBook.and all I can say is its not even worth it.YouTube stutters because its relying on software acceleration and not taping into the hardware. I WOULD NOT suggest upgrading any machine to Big Sur unless you have metal compatible graphics. Folks I have upgraded four out of five of my machines to Big Sur and two of them are unsupported.White MacBook Mid 2010, and Mac Pro 5,1.
