I’m asking out of genuine curiosity - what are the reasons you’d want that, other than a fun project? There’s so much hardware integration in the stack of a modern Mac that it would feel a little hard for me to even say a hackintosh was a Mac.
Anyways, curious what you have in mind.
I see posts every day of people successfully hackintoshing various PCs. It's a great operating system. And it has all the software that the free alternatives lack.
If I couldn't afford the hardware I would definitely get a hackintosh. One weekend of suffering to get it working, vs a lifetime of suffering with Linux.
I ran a hackintosh as my main machine for a while. It’s not set and forget, every macOS update is a weekend long endeavor.
If you insist on updating. I've been more than fine staying 3-4 OS versions behind – on original machines that support the updates.
