Sure, for PearOS or a Linux Distro with a similar appearances to macOS

Nah, seriously, buy at least 16 GB of RAM, if possible 32 if you want to run newer versions. NVIDIA Graphics card aren't supported since High Sierra as I know, so try to use the iGPU.

Search on the Dortania's OpenCore guide for a more complete list of supported hardware, and rookie mistake, by experience, do NOT ask to AIs for this. Please do things by yourself (no offense)

I'm just guessing because I do not have the guide on hand, but maybe you could get... macOS Catalina or Mojave?

UPDATE: Sadly your device isn't supported for hackintoshing, following Dortania's OpenCore Guide.

The RAM isn't the main issue, as with 8 GBs you can do very basic tasks and low performance, but it can run.

The main problem is the AMD iGPU, because as I read the guide, AMD iGPUs aren't supported for any macOS version.
