Despite these being optional tweaks in the menu, I'm also surprised by how this is the default. I guess the options are for PVE updates.

"Disclaimer for dev/student/test purposes only." Shouldn't be used with enterprise license, which may be against ToS.

The original intent is to avoid custom hardware configurations by using PVE as a layer. Hackintosh on bare metal can take days to figure out on new hardware.

Yes, this is correct. There seem to be a lot of people confused about the benefit of this in the thread, but it’s very simple: This tool exists essentially as a replacement for doing a full Hackintosh build of a system. You install Proxmox on a machine with a GPU, set this up, pass through the GPU and any other PCIe cards you want to run, and you’re in business.

It turns a days-long process into something that you can be up and running within like an hour. With OSX-KVM you have to set up the machine to be ready to do all the stuff like passthrough. This leverages the fact that Proxmox makes all that stuff super-simple.

> ... pass through the GPU

I've got GPU passthrough working under Proxmox but not for Hackintosh. Will a Hackintosh work with most GPUs or only with certain brands/models?

It has to be AMD specifically, with some cards working better than others. Really old Nvidia cards work if you’re willing to go all the way back to High Sierra, though I haven’t tested it with this specific setup.

Intel iGPUs work on bare metal up until about tenth gen Core series, but I don’t know if you can pass them through with Proxmox.

If you just want to mess around, RX 580s are pretty cheap on eBay these days and are fast enough to handle most tasks on a Mac.

This is all standard proxmox setup and is step 1 for anyone running the free version

> This is all standard proxmox setup and is step 1 for anyone running the free version

I run the free version and do not delete the Ceph repos (especially since I'm using Ceph amongst my storage options):

    if [ -e /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ceph.list ]; then rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ceph.list; fi;

At the very least run a sed command to just comment out any/all lines in the files instead of nuking them.

Or change the file extension to anything else than .list

I don't know why you got downvoted, because you are right. There is no problem with keeping the Ceph repos, and you can use it with the community repos.
