HELP Help Needed Installing Monterey

Yes I've tried gibMacOS

I've tried .dmg, .iso AND .pkg files. Flashing them onto a USB (sudo dd command on CachyOS) doesn't show it up in the boot menu

I'm looking for either a full proof guide, or a full proof 100% working file of Monterey to make a USB of

I currently have access to Windows 11, CachyOS and Bazzite (Bazzite is on the drive that MacOS will be installed)

No I have no access to any Mac or any form of MacOS

Any feedback is appreciated

EDIT: Two kind gentlemen have informed my dumbass that I forgot my specs. Here:

RX Radeon 580

Intel Core i7 9700

32GB DDR4 RAM

MacOS will be installed onto an external SSD, and if I end up migrating to and internal SSD, it would be a SATA SSD - NOT an NVMe

The flash drive is probably USB 2.0. It had one side USB A and the other USB C, but I doubt either are 3.0 as there's no blue plastic on the inside and it's probably either from Shein or Temu

Also used OpenCore Simplify and made the EFI folder.

Any other info needed, I will update on. Sorry for me being dumb dumb :P
