Is that an actual Hackintosh (running on bare metal) or just a virtual machine?

It's got 2-4x as much RAM as the average apple device so maybe that makes at a Newton pro max ultra

As a person who used to do Hackintoshes I am impressed people got it to boot on a Steam Deck

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I did one once. Managed to somehow install Catalina on a Lattepanda sbc. I would've never expected it to work, so I was positively elated.

The thing then promptly shorted, let out the magic smoke, and I haven't tried anything similar since. Took it as a sign from the universe that if I were meant to be good at it, i wouldn't have managed to fry aforementioned sbc, and several other ones (2 Jetson nano's as well).

I got catalina and mojave to work. Was nice while they still worked.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

"Out of the box, the Steam Deck’s screen will default to portrait."

So does the legion go. I don't understand why there isn't something built in to fedora to prevent this but I've never been able to find a setting for it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

Try wdisplay (on wayland), or xrandr (on xorg)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You probably won’t it’s just because the resolution is 720x1280 instead of the normal 1280x720 so it just assumes that is the correct orientation for the screen but it’s because screen manufacturers don’t make screens landscape this size due to the market being small as they are normally used for tablets

Thank you for the explanation. It switches sometimes by accident and I didn't know that.

You were so preoccupied with whether you could, that you didn't stop to think whether you should.

And, that is a good thing 😂
