Intel Hades Canyon NUC?

That's exactly what we said, it works in most apps but there are glitches which at this time don't hinder me from using it. Glitches are mostly in AppKit icon/ text related areas only.

Overall, very good, the first time with MAC OS system, safari and icon mosaic without sound card driver, others are fine, I installed chrome, ide and other applications, and windows system is as easy to use, enough for learning at this stage Satisfied.

@betterclever I used your config.plist, why my Graphics is 480 instead of polaris? Another problem is that all the characters are mosaic Microsoft office (2016 or 2019)，did you have the same problem?

Thanks a lot.

Not sure about listing. Are you on the latest Mojave beta? Listing is cosmetic though, don't need to care much. About Office, as I pointed out that some apps have issues mostly those using AppKit so I assume this is a part of it. I don't use MS Office on Mac so can't tell if I face it but you can safely assume that I'd be just like every other app.

Not sure about thunderbolt. I don't have any devices, though I don't see why it won't work. It is alpine ridge and that is supported by the community already. Though can't say anything for sure since I can't test.

First of all, thanks to everybody who helped to getting it to work and @betterclever for sharing the config.plist that works quite well so far.

@betterclever hi there would like to know if the thunderbolt is working ? i was thinking to link it up to a 4k display through thunderbolt. thank you in advance

If you referring to connecting a 4K Display (like a Samsung U28E590 or similar via DP) I can confirm that it is working (see ConnectionType in the screenshot attached)

@betterclever, @RehabMan: some more about the nasty glitches, I noticed that the glitches are somehow related to resolution, with my display the default is nearly not usable (glitches everywhere, incl. menus) with full resolution 3840 x 2160 @ 60 Hz glitches as already reported by others - maybe this helps to narrow the issue down further

here you go

When convenient, attach IOReg.

About these glitches. AppKit is the GUI toolkit of macOS, for Cocoa apps. AppKit apps in macOS like the Finder, TextEdit, Calendar, Preview… they all use AppKit. As it seems these graphic glitches appear only in specific apps like MS Office, and some icons (why some and not all of them BTW? Are the affected icons always the same or do glitches appear randomly on all of them?), I suspect the origin of these artifacts rather come from a rendering scheme using OpenGL encapsulation of the rendered interface (Quartz Extreme compositing I think).

You are using a 4K-UHD display, so the HiDPI "Retina" logical resolution of macOS is different than the hardware resolution.
1) If you don't use the Retina feature (when you max out the definition) then you display a logical resolution matching the hardware resolution of 3840x2160 pixels. The interface appears really tiny, but in this case the system does not have to compute a different logical resolution. So it does not have to rely on the GPU as much, that's why I think there are actually less glitches at maximum resolution.
2) The default Retina resolution would be half of that (4× less logical pixels) that is to say 1920×1080.
3) Outside of this "best" Retina resolution, you can choose to scale the interface among a short range, so it gets bigger or smaller than the default one. But in this case, the system has to compute back and forth to render the GUI at a bigger size then a lower size matching the chosen non-default Retina resolution. This additional processing may be done with Quartz Extreme (thus by the GPU) and the output may not be what macOS is expecting, as the GPU is spoofed.

Can you try to see if there are less artifacts selecting the default setting Scale → Best (Retina) in the Display Prefpane of System Preferences (fewer than with "larger text" or "more space" options)?

FYI: May not be 4k related....

Artifacts are plentiful with my u3011 (2560x1600) display on DP. I will try with HDMI as that will run the monitor in 1080p mode since it does not support 2560x1600 on HDMI, only DP.
