> ## 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 have the WDC PC SN520 NVMe 2242).
|
|
- I've found that dual booting with OpenCore can be quite troublesome. 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](https://karabiner-elements.pqrs.org/) and configure it as:

|
|
> ## 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.
|
|

|
> ## 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.

|
> ## OPTIMIZATIONS:
|
|
|
|
- Repaste the machine with thermal [Grizzly Kryonaut](https://www.thermal-grizzly.com/en/products/16-kryonaut-en).
|
|
- For those willing to risk permanently damaging your machine for the best thermal, repaste the machine with liquid metal [Grizzly Conductonaut](https://www.thermal-grizzly.com/produkte/25-conductonaut). For the majority however, I recommend using [Grizzly Kryonaut](https://www.thermal-grizzly.com/en/products/16-kryonaut-en).
|
|
- Undervolt the machine with [VoltageShift](https://github.com/sicreative/VoltageShift). |
