You can build one. Lots of guides out there and compatibility lists for components. It’s going to be a science project though with only community support for an adversarial operating system.

If you plan to use it for work then buy a Mac. It’s a tool for a job.

running it virtually is also an option. I run macos in virtualbox for the times I need it (for me that's not daily) and have no issues with it

Do you know if Xcode can run+build+submit apps on VM?

If by chance you're doing React Native, Expo has a cloud build service I can highly recommend.

There might be other build services for different languages.
