Why vanilla?
It's clean
Mac Os Amd Vmware
The AMD distros are designed to be ran on various different hardware combinations, while a vanilla install is made for your specific hardware. This means that your install will only have what it needs and no extra useless junk.
Mac Os For Amd Fx Graphics
Tailor made for your hardware
A vanilla install doesn't have any unneeded kexts or modifications which could cause issues.
More instructive
Making your own install teaches you a lot more about how hackintoshing works which in turn makes it easier for you to troubleshoot any potential issues.
The good, the bad and the ugly:
What works
- AMD Ryzen CPUs
- Native USB

So much works, that it is easier to say what doesn't so here we go:

- AMD FX CPUs (I don't have one to use for testing)
- Internal Graphics. Be it an AMD Ax CPU or one of the G Ryzen chips, the GPU will not work.
- Lower GPU performance, more specifically:
- About 10% lower on AMD GPUs
About 75% lower on Nvidia GPUs- I have been told that this is not the case. Performance varies a lot per model, but it is safe to assume it is a lot lower than on Windows.
