# JulioNectar/Hackintosh-XPS13Plus-IrisXe-Tahoe

> OpenCore hackintosh project that enables Metal GPU acceleration for the Intel Iris Xe (Raptor Lake) on macOS Tahoe by running Apple's Tiger Lake driver with a patched NootedGreen kernel extension and user-space patches. Work in progress for the Dell XPS 13 Plus 9320.

- Magnitude: 1.7 out of 10 — Cooling
- Stars: 124 total · +0 stars measured 2026-10-25, 00:10–01:36 UTC, ≈ 9 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic
- Category: Hardware, IoT & robotics · Language: C++ · Created: 2026-10-21 · Last push: 2026-10-25
- GitHub: https://github.com/JulioNectar/Hackintosh-XPS13Plus-IrisXe-Tahoe · Page: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/JulioNectar/Hackintosh-XPS13Plus-IrisXe-Tahoe

## Useful for

- Install macOS Tahoe on a Dell XPS 13 Plus 9320 with working GPU acceleration
- Update an existing hackintosh setup by rebuilding and replacing the NootedGreen kext
- Test hardware video decode (H.264/HEVC) in QuickTime or video editors on the hackintosh

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-25 (UTC), 00:10–01:36: 124 → 124 stars (+0). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +9 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 4 days old and already has 124 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #166.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 12
- Issues and pull requests: 13
- Watchers: 6
- Average over the last week: 24 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 0

## Stars per day, last 5 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

2026-10-21 … 2026-10-25: 56, 23, 21, 10, 0

## Spotted in now

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
