## No Graphics Acceleration
In macOS, each release generally means GPU drivers are dropped from the OS. With macOS Big Sur, currently all non-Metal GPUs require additional patches to gain acceleration. In addition, macOS Monterey removed Graphics Drivers for both Intel Ivy Bridge and NVIDIA Kepler.

A common area for systems to get "stuck", namely for units that are missing the `AES` CPU instruction/older mobile hardware. During this stange a lot of heavy cryptography is performed, which can make systems appear to be stuck when in reality they are working quite hard to finish up the installation.

Because this step can take a few hours or more depending on drive speeds, be patient at this stage and do not manually reboot your machine as this will break the installation and require you to reinstall.

If you finished installing Monterey with the original card installed (to see bootpicker for example) and swapped your GPU to a Metal supported one, you may notice that you're missing acceleration. To fix this, open OCLP and revert root patches to get your Metal-supported GPU work again.
Alternatively, you can remove "AutoPkg-Assets.pkg" from /Library/Packages on the USB drive before proceeding with the installation. To see the folder, enable hidden files with `Command` + `Shift` + `.`
Alternatively, you can remove "AutoPkg-Assets.pkg" from /Library/Packages on the USB drive before proceeding with the installation. To see the folder, enable hidden files with `Command` + `Shift` + `.`
The reason for this is that the autopatcher will assume you will be using the original card and therefore does non-metal patching, which includes removing some drivers for other cards. This causes Metal cards to not accelerate when swapped.

Introduced in macOS 12 Monterey, Universal Control is a feature that allows a Mac to control other Macs and/or iPads, share input devices, and share files across them simultaneously. With OpenCore and FeatureUnlock, Universal Control can be unlocked for most unsupported Macs, so long as they meet the technical requirements.
