Tested to work on Monterey, Ventura and Sonoma.
The 3.5mm audio jack does not work, as the device uses ES8336 audio chipset and likely not supported. However, HDMI and USB audio both works.
I do not have the tools to test USB C port display out
I have not thoroughly test it for problems, so please create issue if you find any problem.
I am an amateur in hackintoshing, so I may not be able to help!

The EFI may work in BeeLink SEi8, but I cannot support it. Please go to https://github.com/daliansky/Beelink-SEI8-Hackintosh

It has very similar spec to Intel NUC 8, which is very hackintosh-able and there are repos for EFI of that device.
However, GMK NUCBOX2 is cheaper than it, making it a good choice for those who want a cheap hackintosh machine.
