Same here. I've done it a few times as a dual-boot with my desktop and had issues that caused me to uninstall after a month or two. I think the trick is going to be buying hardware that's 100% compatible from one of the lists people have put together. I've had the same problem with every Linux distro I've tried, but I dumped them due to UX jank, not compatibility problems.

This is also why I've messed with hackintosh in dual boot or old machines but never for too long. To get one that's stable, you need to build a machine with 100% compatible parts. That's not terribly difficult but I don't usually build machines just for running something like a hackintosh. When I go to build a new desktop workstation every 5 years or so, I want to pick the components based off bang for the buck, not just compatibility with hackintosh installations. And if I really need MacOS to run something work-related, I'm not gonna count on a hobbyist project like that to do it. I'm gonna get work to pay for Apple hardware or take it out of whatever freelance budget I have. I guess if I had both the budget to build a second workstation for MacOS stuff and a strong desire to run non-employment-related MacOS-only software, I might just build a 100% compatible hackintosh but as it stands, there's nothing I really absolutely need that only runs on MacOS so instead I just use my Windows desktop workstation for just about everything, my Asus notebook for mobile DJ/VJ gigs, and the ancient MBP I got for free a while back for the rare occasion that I want to screw around with something that only runs on MacOS.
