deeveedee Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) A fix to Lilu.kext is coming which will address the Radeon dGPU install issues that we have been experiencing in Tahoe. With this Lilu fix, there are no changes needed for WhateverGreen.kext. EDIT: Many thanks to @Avery B for this Lilu fix and to @laobamac_yyds for giving us WhateverGreen.kext fixes that temporarily resolve the issue until the Lilu fix is released.

meg2014 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 So, the latest Tahoe Beta (ends in 101c) appears to be much easier on my CPU - and doesn't drive it as hard when loading the system. Especially so If you turn down transparency in system settings, it almost seems normal. Still very very slow after login - this is way Tahoe has been from the very beginning of 26.3. Not sure what that is all about, but, well. there it is.

Not sure what that is all about, but, well. there it is. Some good, some not so good, I guess,. On my Lenovo T14, macOS Ventura feels noticeably smoother and more responsive overall. Animations, Mission Control, trackpad gestures, and general UI interactions are very fluid. When testing Tahoe 26.2, the system works, but it feels heavier and less responsive, especially in daily usage. This does not seem to be a configuration error, but rather the increased system overhead in newer macOS versions. Ventura appears to be better optimized for Intel iGPU-based laptops, while newer releases rely more on modern GPU features and background services. For real-world productivity on this hardware, Ventura currently provides the best balance between performance, stability, and user experience. I will test macOS 26.3 to give the Hackintosh one last chance to my T14 Edit: Unfortunately, I tried my best, excluding unusable SSDTs and testing friends’ configurations here, but T14 doesn’t run well on 10th-generation laptops. My 7th-gen Kaby Lake feels like a gaming PC compared to how bad Tahoe 26.3 turned out 😂😂!!

deeveedee Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) Sorry to hear that, but not much of a surprise that Ventura is much smoother. Ventura runs adequately on my 2010 Dell Latitude E6410. Hopefully 26.3 is better for you. I am finding that Sequoia performance is outstanding and Tahoe 26.3 beta 2 performs very well on my HP EliteBook 850 G7 (i7-10610U / 32GB) with Intel 10th Gen iGPU (no dGPU). These Tahoe System Settings improved performance for me: "Accessibility > Motion > Reduce Motion" "Accessibility > Display > Reduce Transparency" Edited January 16 by deeveedee 3 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/362089-pre-release-macos-tahoe-263/page/3/#findComment-2846518 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max.1974 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) @deeveedeeThanks for the information, I’ll try it now. I was out working earlier. Edit: Hi, thanks for the settings. I discovered it was an SSDT causing the freezing, but I also adjusted it according to your settings and noticed a big improvement. Thank you!! I also noticed that logging into my Apple ID gets a little worse, so it really must be something related to the settings and iCloud.

I will correct it, and I also want to inform you that, while reviewing the SSDTs one by one, I noticed an incorrect EC, which helped a lot to reduce the lag. However, the Lenovo T14 is indeed very smooth with Ventura and Sequoia. On macOS Tahoe, my CPU is constantly at 100% usage. I might need to use the CPUFriend kext. Thank you!

deeveedee Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 @Max.1974 My 10th Gen Intel laptop CPU spends most of its time idle when running Tahoe. I don't use CPUFriend. If your hack CPU is pegged at 100%, that would definitely explain the lag. Have you inspected Activity Monitor to determine which process is pegging your CPU? 2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/362089-pre-release-macos-tahoe-263/page/3/#findComment-2846548 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your hack CPU is pegged at 100%, that would definitely explain the lag. Have you inspected Activity Monitor to determine which process is pegging your CPU? Hi So I did figure it out, yes — it was the Display Manager that was consuming the AI resources, and ChatGPT helped me identify what it was. That’s why DisplayLink Manager is not designed to avoid such high power consumption. So, if I reduce or disable DisplayLink Manager on Tahoe, using my dock station, I can then use it normally with around 70% usage on Tahoe. On Ventura it goes down to 4%, 10%, 30%, even while compiling and doing everything else. So basically, Tahoe really isn’t made for notebooks. It’s just too much, it pushes the hardware too hard, in my opinion. But I restructured my SSDTs according to the BIOS mode for Windows — using Windows mode — and I managed to reorganize my SSDTs, and the result is excellent on Ventura, and still usable on Tahoe. 😆🙏🏻👊🏻 Edited January 18 by Max.1974 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/362089-pre-release-macos-tahoe-263/page/3/#findComment-2846551 Share on other sites More sharing options...
