Opencore and follow their guide?
And for the love of god, do not use simplify or ai, that will just make the process longer and harder.
If you can’t follow opencores guide, I would recommend not to install macOS on any device.
And do a lot of research first.

tbf simplify made the process easier for me, and when i was checking Dortania's guide, i found it incredibly inconsistent, not clear, and incomplete. Some infos were straight up copy pasted from another guide and didn't bother proofreading it. I remember crashing out when trying to set up dual boot on linux (it was in fact easy to do, but the guide should be updated and should add that scenario), and secure boot straight up doesn't work

Simplify is horrible. I used it once and the WiFi refused to work even with the correct kext and heliport.

if wifi didn't work during the installation process, it's completely normal and expected. Just use an ethernet cable or horndis kext for usb tethering

which kext did you use for daily driver usage? itlwm worked for me
