I finally managed to successfully hackintosh my laptop after first trying to do it last year. It wouldn't have been possible if I haven't had a Latitude E6410 lying around, since the E6230's Dell Wi-Fi card (DW1540) isn't compatible with macOS, but the 1520 from the E6410 is.
The only thing that doesn't work completely is sleep, as it refuses to sleep when either the charger or a USB device is plugged in, although that won't be a big issue when I get an internal Bluetooth card.

The next thing I want to try is upgrading to Monterey, although I had an issue where after the upgrade, the boot process would hang at an error. I unfortunately don't remember the message, but I'll try the upgrade again and write a comment with the exact message. What I do remember though is that searching for possible solutions returned nothing unfortunately.
