 ## OpenCore is better than Clover in [many ways](https://khronokernel-2.gitbook.io/opencore-vanilla-desktop-guide/). But since it is still in its infancy, OpenCore still requires a lot of time and personal confgurations to work. So even though I have posted my EFI-OpenCore folder, there are still some work which you have to do before you are able to get it working on your machine.
 
-### Fortunately, acidanthera has done a great job documenting OpenCore. And while it can be greatly time consuming, I really recommend taking a look at it because it helps so much in: creating, configurating, dianosing, personalizing, and understanding OpenCore configurations.
+### Fortunately, [acidanthera](https://github.com/acidanthera) has done a great job documenting OpenCore. And while it can be greatly time consuming, I really recommend taking a look at it and starting a `config.plist` from scratch. Doing so will allow you to personalize and understand OpenCore configurations. More importantly, by starting an `config.plist` from scratch, you may catch a mistake in my own config.plist or find a better setting variable.  
 
 I do, however, understand if you are strapped for time. So here are the necessary changes to my uploaded configs that would get your machine working. In most cases, your machine should boot with OpenCore after these changes. However, if it does not. please refer to acidanthera's OpenCore documentation.
