Idk what the word for it is

Hackintosh typically refers to running not-MacOS on apple hardware? Imo this project of removing almost all of the inner guts and using effectively a Frankenstein'd collection of things to reconstitute it into laptop needs a different word.

No, Hackintosh specifically refers to running MacOS on non-Apple hardware.

I don't think there's a word for running other OSs on Apple hardware, because it's officially supported.

Hackintosh is running MacOS on non Mac hardware.

During the time of x86 macos this was AMD or Intel PCs

Still is.

A modern Hackintosh can run macOS 15 "Sequioa" and Tahoe still has x86 support and OCLP is working on it. It will happen in time.
