Sure, I can help with that. We can explore options for running a Quad Boot across Windows 10, Mac OS, Android, and Linux on a desktop-based custom machine. The ideal setup depends on your priorities—performance, compatibility, or ease of use. Let’s look into the best configuration and steps.

Modified the autoexec.bat script to launch the command prompt and create a menu for choosing the operating system.

Uhhh... No. Autoexec.bat isn't the first thing a computer checks. It's the initial file MS-DOS searches for after booting up, used to start older Windows versions like Windows 1 through Windows ME since they all ran on top of MS-DOS. When the BIOS/UEFI attempts to load an operating system, it definitely isn't scanning for Autoexec.bat.

You're focusing on Windows and Unix systems. It seems the initial UEFI/bios file is likely where you can start making changes.

MacOS is the solid choice. Clarify that first. After that, install Windows and Mac separately, then add Android and Linux to their partitions. For bootloaders, there are many options available. If you're using a UEFI system, rEFInd is recommended—it offers a user-friendly interface and automatically detects all your operating systems as long as they have a UEFI-compatible bootloader in the UEFI partition or a BIOS-compatible one in the MBR. Windows 7/8/10, MacOS, and most contemporary Linux distributions can be located with rEFInd without trouble. Android setup will rely on how you configure it.

Android isn't compatible with regular desktop systems. A virtual machine is required. macOS must run exclusively on Apple hardware. Any other suggestions are not allowed per CS guidelines.

Androidx86 requires an ARM library to function properly for many Android applications. It's unclear if RemIxOS supports this, as I haven't successfully booted it before.

They will execute apps that rely on NDK binaries exclusively when the application offers x86 versions. Many games and other fast software depend on NDK, though numerous provide x86 binaries since it simplifies development for most cases. However, a few exceptions exist.
