I would guess it's true. After all OS4 runs on the Pegasos (and the Efika as well I think, done in the same way), but it's one thing to "hack-start" an OS and bringing the basic core things up and running, and another thing to have a complete fine-tuned driver package for all of the components and devices on the board in question. The latter is what a consumer expects. How much fun is there when you have no sound, no network, no USB, etc, etc? I sincerely doubt a complete package like that exists for Mac...
That sounds like my hackintosh experience. Gittery audio, no wlan, cpu running at 100% when you least expect it. apps not working and crashes everywhere. But fun while it lasted.
