Comment on 7 years later, Valve's Proton has been an incredible game-changer for Linux
paraphrand@lemmy.world 21 hours agoThe big reason to make a hackintosh was to use eGPUs?
eGPUs were not supported natively? And now they are?
What timeline are you talking about here? Is it all back 10-6 years ago?

Maybe, because I haven’t looked into it in a few years.

Ok, that makes a bit more sense then.
eGPUs got pretty good support in the years leading up to Apple Silicon. And that transition started 5+ years ago. And now Macs have no eGPU support.
I find it weird that you cite eGPU support since hackintoshes almost always have PCI slots. And the eGPU support still comes from Apple even on a hackintosh. AFAIK.

I did a little digging. It seems like mainline Apple hardware with Thunderbolt 2 had limited eGPU support because of bandwidth constraints. Thunderbolt 3 had full support.
