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

Nah they only sell monitor stands that "cheap".

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

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 9 points 17 hours 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).

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 4 points 17 hours ago

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

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

[–] Petter1@lemm.ee 3 points 16 hours ago

And, that is a good thing 😂

[–] chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 11 points 20 hours ago

Thanks. I need eye bleach now.

Apple iCantusemydeck

[–] averyminya@beehaw.org 15 points 23 hours ago

Ah, I see apple has came out with a brand new device form factor never seen before. It must be the iDeck

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Waste of time?

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

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] histic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours 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

Edit: fun fact the vita and switch are also both like this not sure about the Wii u

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

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

[–] dadarobot@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 23 hours ago

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

[–] desmosthenes@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Did they ever fix the orientation?

[–] Flamekebab@piefed.social 4 points 1 day ago
