What is OpenCore?
This is a sophisticated boot loader used to inject and patch data in memory, instead of on disk. This means we’re able to get near-native experience on many unsupported Macs with Metal GPUs.

Native OTA OS DELTA updates on all Macs
Recovery OS, Safe Mode and Single-user Mode booting
WPA Wifi and Personal Hotspot support
