😮 indeed no 4K YT option anymore on my Mac 27" late 2013 either...
Dualboot working with FusionDrive only APFS Container macOS. Not possible to create multiple partitions.
That was the main reason i quit depending on Safari as my main browser years ago (even under a supported OS) because I ran into various compatibility issues vs third party browsers. Also because safari isn't cross platform and I have gotten to the point where I like to use a program that's the same regardless of the computer / OS used.
How do, I do it though? I did some research while waiting for an answer here, and it suggests that it's not recommended to add multiple partitions to a fusion drive, and if you do it's like boot camp and it's only on the HDD, so it won't cary over to the SSD.
a bit off-topic, but, This is the exact model i have (A steal purchase second-hand)
BUT i have no fusion drive, but TWO unique SSD. (120GB + 1 TB Samsung EVO 850 )
Thoughts on this? I haven't seen this configuration anywhere though ( everymac.com etc...
My iMac 13,2 ( late 2012) REFUSES to boot the Sequoia installer drive (a USB OWL Nvme m2) It even doesn't detect the drive or USB flashdrives, which is odd, given that i run native Catalina and APFS on both Internal SSD drives. Also tried sonoma external SSD. smooth as helI
Same goes with ZorinOS 17.1

It's indeed a Safari issue. I have just checked that this limitation occurs only in Safari. With the Google Chrome browser, I am offered higher resolution settings...
Apple Intelligence requires Neural Engine that is not in any Intel CPU, will never work.

I am having problems with my iMac 11,3 with Quadro K2100M. Currently I have osx 12.7.6 and OCP 2.0.1
I created the USB drive but it does not find EFI on startup
Any advice?
Thank you so much for your time

OK, just read up on Apple support regarding adding / removing APFS volumes. looks like I can use that as a way to manage multiple versions of macOS internally without needing an external drive.
My iMac boots from Sonoma, Catalina (natively), Big Sur and Monterey without any problem, the Fusion Drive doesn't present any issues. OCLP is installed on the SSD drive. Created new volumes rather than partitions.
Does Apple Maps load on those models? Everything worse fine on mine, maps loads but the map portion is a blank screen.
Well, here is what I am faced with now. Monterey is the last officially supported version for this iMac 17,1. Because I happen to do more graphics related tasks here than the majority of users here appear to do, I need Monterey or Linux for things to work correctly. Beyond that, I am thinking about creating an APFS volume for open core, to install something newer to use for non graphics related stuff, that might not care about the patched OS. Graphics tasks affected by OCLP here would include 3D acceleration in VMs for testing without having to reboot. The DRM related stuff isn't as big of an issue to me, because I have ripped copies of my media I can use instead of the TV app and depending on the apple version. I do have external drives I also use for dual booting, but because I don't have any external SSDs, they're slower mechanical drives.
With that said, is Sequoia stable enough at this point to just use that as the secondary OS? Like I said I have a metal supported mac (late 2015, 27" iMac) and most of the issues i read about are related to the older non metal macs.
In my eyes, absolutely ... and if metal enabled it will be definitely snappier than the old Montery
Well, Monterey isn't slow, Things are just being dropped from support in larger numbers now. I might do a container for Mojave too, for 32-bit support so have 3 systems. Monterey, Mojave, and whatever is current with Open core.
nearly fainted today.
Wanted to play Braveheart and update my OCLP 10,2 MacBookPro OTA to 15.1 ... it loaded the update and then during preparing the bar didn't move. I thought only the bar but then I saw the clock was frozen too
Tried to restart press&hold the Power button ... but screen only turned black and it did nothing for a few long minutes, regardless how or how long I pressed the power button. Only after removing LAN- and power cables - ok it did not react anymore too, but - after another 5 minutes the boot screen appeared out of nowhere - I just left it alone on the desk.
Worked as normal. since then...
