Maintaining a hackintosh is a drag. You never now if an update is going to break things. You have to jump though a lot of hoops to get things like iMessage working. Moreover, you have to be prepared to use random kexts from the net. You also miss out on many security features of the Mac (T2 and their secure boot mechanism).
If you want to run Linux or Windows, buy a NUC. If you want to run macOS, buy a Mac. Hardware-wise, the Mac Mini is comparatively expensive, but you also fund macOS development and will have a much better experience than any other hardware.
Source: I use NUCs (currently NUC8i5BEH for Linux, plus two other around the house), a MacBook Pro, and have had Mac Minis in the past.
