Has anyone seen a response from Dortania (OCLP) to this?

I mean, what response can they have?
They'll probably support 26 until it goes EOL, and after that it's over.
Undoubtedly there will be dedicated community running 26 for years after support is over, writing patches, running Virtual Machines with it, finding ways to run new unsupported apps on it (much like people do for old versions of Windows like 98/XP/Vista/7), but it is for all intents and purposes the end of hackintoshing. They even joke about it on their discord...

How about "yes/no we can/cannot continue supporting this"?

I don't care about hackintoshing

My bad, I should I have focused my reply more on OCLP than Hackintoshing, but it still applies.
The team isn't going to port ARM MacOS to x86 Macs. When MacOS stop getting Intel releases, OCLP is over.
They'll likely support 26 as long as possible, but after it hits EOL...

Tim Cook tightens his grip over the hardware you bought.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

Lemmy doesn’t like that.

I knew this was coming soon. I traded my 2018 MacBook Pro last year for an iPad Pro and haven’t regretted it. Only time until this becomes obsolete as well, but it’s serving me much better.
