Raw Blame History

Upgrading and other Major Changes:

  • macOS minor version upgrade works just as any Mac would.
  • It is generally a good idea to hold off on new major macOS releases until kexts and other dependencies have been tested.
  • Upon upgrading macOS, even minor releases, it is recommended to clear NVRAM to reduce problems.
  • Upon changing SSDT patches and/or changing BIOS settings, it is also recommended to clear NVRAM variables.

Dual Booting:

  • I recommend that you dual boot using another drive in the WAN slot.
  • I've found that dual booting with OpenCore can be quite troulesome. Instead, what I recommend is to use rEFInd Boot Manager should you need to dual boot Windows or Linux.

Modifier Key Patching:

By default, Windows, Left Alt, and Right Alt are mismapped. An easy fix for this is to install Karabiner-Elements and configure it as:
karabiner_modifier

Multimedia Fn Key Patching:

Since macOS doesn't not natively support some multimedia Fn key actions. BetterTouchTool is required to program these actions. Keyboard Mastero is also an alternative but I've found that BetterTouchTool is a simpler and easier option.
Simply import patches/BetterTouchTool/x1c6-functions.bttpreset. My settings are as followed:

  • F7 = Screen Mirroring On/Off
  • F9 = Open System Preferences
  • F10 = Toggle Bluetooth On/Off
  • F11 = Switch Keyboard Input Language (Set in System Preferences/Keyboard)
  • F12 = Open Terminal
  • PrtSc = Window Screen Capture
    Of course, feel free to change this to your preference in BetterTouchTool.

Touchpad Settings in macOS:

  • Force Click is enabled by default, which turns any click on the trackpad into a force touch. I suggest you turn this off.
  • In addition, I prefer to have tap to click on.
    See my touchpad settings:

Headphone Patch:

  • Installing ALCPlugFix addresses the following:
    • Change output to headphones after being plugged in, and to change it back to speakers after being unplugged.
    • Fix the rare condition that audio is messed up after waking from sleep.

See patches/ALCPlugFix/README.md for more details.
