USB Preparing

Because I don't own a Mac I've created a VM of macOS Mojave 10.14.3 and downloaded the original installer from gibMacOS and made the USB drive using TINU, a GUI for createinstallmedia.

Luckily, there's a new way to download macOS Installer: for more infos check @dortania guide

For the bootloader configuration, I have to thank a lot @1alessandro1 and @marianopela, which helped me through the conversion from Clover to Opencore.

Brightness keys

I've realized (cuz I've removed Windows such as 10 seconds after buying the PC) that the brightness key are not smooth (fluid animation) even in Windows. So I've simply mapped them inside SysPrefs/Keyboard/Shortcuts
