Some corrections:
Found a post on Tonyx86mac that might fix the the 3 minute black screen, will try tomorrow...
Also, with https://github.com/hacker1024/Dell-Inspiron-7586-Hackintosh/blob/big_sur/EFI/OC/Kexts/USBMap.kext/Contents/Info.plist I got all two USB ports to work with both USB 2.0 and 3.0 devices fully. Maybe you could add that.
@mfischl Damn, none of my 3.0 ports can be hot-plugged with my own map on my laptop with identical specs. Lucky.
As for your hard-clicking issues, this is actually a new feature of VoodooI2C, intended to simulate the force click feature from real MacBook trackpads. Disable "Force Click and haptic feedback" in the trackpad preferences and you should be good to go.
Brightness keys work with FN+S and FN+B (Tip: Screen Brightness) ๐ I've updated the repo (new kexts, and a possible black screen fix).
Please report your findings
That is amazing news! ๐ I will try and report back as soon as I can
I got around to trying this now. 4 out of 4 times it booted directly without a black screen, which is great success ๐ But, there is a major caveat: Wifi doesn't work anymore at all. It shows in the top bar as greyed out and after booting I can not click it. After some time I can but it just doesn't work. It doesn't show any SSIDs to connect to and also when going to Network settings, the WIFI adapter doesn't even show. I tried putting the old Airport and itlwm kexts instead of the updated ones but that yielded the same result. Did you change any other configuration related to WIFI? EDIT: I should mention I am still on Catalina. Did you create that configuration now for BigSur?
@mfischl Yes, I changed it to itlwm instead of Airport, please install and use the Heliport app included in this repo to connect to wifi: https://github.com/merken/Inspiron7586/blob/main/tools/HeliPort.dmg
Has anyone tried AirportItlwm? I've found it makes Bluetooth quite unstable, with devices disconnecting frequently. Regular itlwm reduces the disconnections, but doesn't completely fix the issue either.
@merken Just wow... This update now made booting super fast, without a single black screen yet, plus sleep is working now! I close the lid, I open the lid and its there within a split second. Not a single kernel panic or anything yet. Absolutely great work!
Something I noticed is that battery percentage would sometimes jump great lengths. Like, I opened it now with 38% and suddenly it jumped to 6%.
Small correction now: After a reboot sleep is broken again. Subsequent reboots didn't solve the issue. I did reboot before also, but at a certain point it broke. Still not sure what caused it.
Updated for Big Sur (new Kexts + config.plist changes)

...the only difference is I have 16 gigs of ram.

to work yet. But that might be solvable with the correct keyboard layout settings in plain macOS.Things that don't work
Man this is awesome though, I am beyond happy! That is like a 300% upgrade from Windows, thank you for your work! I was really lost for making open core stuff work but I hope I can help on runtime issues a little bit now ๐ Tell me if I need to watch out for something else.
