Yes, Sleep/Wake works. Yes, running macOS Ventura now.

Hi, thank you for the guide! But am really struggling to get anywhere with it. Does all of the above still apply if I'm starting from scratch with Ventura? Or would some of the choices / settings be different?

Ok, I've tried for many hours now, also following one to one the dartonia guide, also by using some configurations from other people, but nothing does it - not getting anywhere close to Ventura booting from the stick. I'm attaching the config that I've ended up with by following your guide, in the hope you could point me in the right direction.

Right now the booting stops after com.apple.filesystem.apfs has been loaded ...

Right now there's only an NVMe WD SN850X in the PC ... onboard sound / Thunderbolt are disabled in the Bios ...

But I've just realized a moment ago that Ive bought the wrong graphics card unfortunately, the RX 6500 XT does not seem to be supported ... so not sure how much that contributes to the problem right now ...

When you boot from the installer, what exactly happens? Also, what macOS version are you trying to boot?
