10 year Windows user wants to try Hackintosh

Hey everyone,

I've been a windows user for about 10 years now and that's been really fine for me. But with the new bloated updates releasing to windows I wanted to give macOS a try. Currently I run a dell latitude 5300 2-in-1. And these are my specs:

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-8145U CPU @ 2.10GHz (2.30 GHz)

Installed RAM 8.00 GB (7.79 GB usable)

Graphics card Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620 (128 MB)

Storage 167 GB of 238 GB used

System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Pen and touch Pen and touch support with 10 touch points

-----

I am well aware of the losses I will get due to the lack of touch support and Airdrop due to my network card not being fully compatible. I did run an OpCore Simplify hardware report and I got the results of the attached image.

I was wondering on which version of macOS to use. For context:
- I want to dual boot windows and macOS on the same PC
- I plan to use macOS for light and frequent productivity tasks (i.e. During school/work)
- I don't plan to game or use resource intensive apps like Photoshop or any other gpu reliant apps for that matter
- I want it to look clean without it being completely unusable, I would like the liquid glass and overall customization provided by Tahoe but I do realize that the glass features require heavy processing power.

I may be wrong on this take. But I'm willing to free up space cause currently I've used 167GB of 238. I would appreciate if I can dual boot it and I'm vaguely aware of the process of running macOS on a windows PC, along with some basic idea of EFI.

I want help in selecting which version I should choose and whether I should really switch to it in the first place. I'm only switching cause I want a different feel from windows.

Currently, I'm pivoting between Sonoma and Tahoe, so I'd appreciate any support.

EDIT: I see that OpCore is not appreciated. But I don't know why, tell me if I should refrain from using it and any other alternative to install macOS.
