macOS Sonoma and Ventura on ThinkCentre M900 SFF SkyLake

Ok after lots on efforts I have installed Sonoma on my SkyLake ThinkCentre M900 SFF. Hardware acceleration works and I get 1536MB of Graphical memory (Intel HD 530). I didn't use OCLP and instead spoofed my GPU from SKL --> KBL. Also I am using VGA. I used iMac18,1 SMBIOS which is compatible for HD 530 and used -no_compat_check boot arg for bypassing the Prohibited sign.

My hardware:
➼ Motherboard: LENOVO 30BC (U3E1)
╟➼ CPU: Intel Core i5 6500 @ 3.20GHz Skylake 14nm Technology
║░░├ 4 Cores/ 4 Threads
║░░╰ Speed: 3,20 GHz
╟➼ RAM: 8GB DDR4 2133MHZ (Single Channel)
║░░╰ Model: Hynix 8GB
╟➼ GPU: Intel HD 530
╟➼ Audio: Realtek ALC662
╟➼ Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (2) I219-LM
╟➼ Storage: 240GB SSD + 240GB SSD
░░╰ Model: GenDisk (SSD) + Kingston
╟➼ Display: 1920x1080
║░░╰ Model: Lenovo LI2215sD

Sometimes there are Graphical glitches and it lags very much sometimes it seems the frame buffer is set to 18 Megabytes instead of 34 Megabytes.

Operating Systems:
macOS Sonoma + Windows 11 23H2

Lol I was too lazy to close those 2 Windows
