Versatile software engineer with a background in .NET consulting and CMS development. Working on regaining my embedded development skills to get more involved with IoT opportunities.
I love OS X but I can't justify HW prices. My desktop has a Ryzen Threadripper CPU, 64 GB RAM, 2x8GB disks in a RAID array, 2x512GB NVMe drives, and a 240GB SSD. $1600 or so. Something comparable on OS X would probably be 2-3 times that price range. I use Windows for desktop computing (my 2013 MacBook is going to stay on my desk until it dies however) and Linux for servers.

I've thought about it, but the feedback I received was that it's not reliable enough to trust for daily operation. A few years ago I would have been all over it, but nowadays, I already have enough systems to keep stable.

You should give hackintosh a try, its worth it.
