When Apple moved to Intel CPU’s there was the creation of the Hackintosh. Which was running apple’s OS on any PC hardware you had around that happened to be compatible. If you thought finding Linux compatible hardware was rough…that was worse.
I’m aware, yes, and that’s what I was referring to. By that time it was basically the same hardware as any other computer, but with slightly different motherboards and with special proprietary firmware.
There’s also some irony in the fact that “PC” was once a trademark that became generic. Someone should do the “Is this xerox a Canon?” joke, but with computers.
