Beginner (sort of) here, planning on setting up my first real life hackintosh and would like for somebody to point me to a few good guides and double check that my hardware shouldn't give too much trouble

Alright, first off I come from a Linux background (which, hopefully, means a lot of my UNIX knowledge should carry over, and I'm pretty experienced with the command line. After all MacOS IS based on Linux's cousin, one of the BSDs), and I have previously (a while ago) setup a barely functioning MacOS VM, which I never got around to making it work properly. I should be able to use it to setup a USB.

My plan is to buy a laptop and I plan on quad-booting it (Gentoo/Linux, Mac, Windows and FreeBSD), just for the fun of it really. I haven't got to play around with Mac or FreeBSD much (I have never owned a Mac, and I have grown dependent on things like LVM and KVM on my Linux desktop to give FreeBSD a good shot). Might switch over if MacOS (or FreeBSD, as I have heard from the BSD users) is as good as people say.

Here is the laptop I'm going to get (yes, I know 128 GB is not much for a quad-boot, I don't use much space + my desktop is setup as an NFS server when I need more, and my desktop has about 5 TB worth of space in total when including space reserved for backing up all my devices). I double checked the exact model and it indeed should be using a Ryzen CPU with a Vega GPU (in the "technical specifications" it says it's got a GTX 1050, wanted to make sure it uses an AMD GPU since I know about the driver situation on MacOS right now, and their drivers are far from perfect on Linux and I can't imagine they are much better on FreeBSD). Anything there that immediately stands out? I know that Ryzen CPUs are a little bit more difficult but can be dealt with on MacOS. It's wireless card maybe (couldn't find the specific one it uses on Acers website)?

Will MacOS try and screw over my other installs (like Windows has the habit of doing according to the internet)? I have heard about the new hardware that Apple added to make it hard to boot into non-apple media, so I'm guessing they might not be the friendliest to work with for dualbooters. I could see MacOS assuming that it's the only one on the computer (or wanting to be the only one at least).

I actually use rEFInd as my bootloader, which I'm pretty sure is what Clover is based on, so I assume that it probably works very similar, so I shouldn't have issues with it. Though ideally, I would like to use just plain rEFInd (it has MacOS installation instructions, so I assume it's possible).

And last of all, what are some good guides? I'm not afraid of getting technical if I need to, worse case scenario I can just nuke the disk and try again if I screw up. Infact I would probably perfer a technical guide as I would like to know how MacOS works under the hood as well while setting it up, + I like doing/customizing stuff at a low level if I can.
