Description

Since release of BigSur Beta 2, I'm curious about Clover configuration contained in this repository, when this configuration was released for Mojave I've tested it on Catalina and worked fine, BigSur doesn't introduce serious API changes in hardware layer so I think it should work without problems. I'm going to test it in near time and provide relations over this issue.

  • Installation of BigSur Beta 2 on ASUS GL553VD
  • Implementation of Clover Configuration

Support for BigSur seems to be a little trouble since it's not supported by Clover and needs migration to OpenCore (#2).

  • Create OpenCore Bootloader (#2)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the OpenCore migration process referenced in issue #2, compare the existing Clover configuration, and consult the OpenCore installation guide to create a bootloader configuration for BigSur on this laptop.
