You may run macOS on a Steam Deck, however please do not

A “Hackintosh” is a normal PC that’s modified to run Apple’s proprietary macOS (or OS X) working system. It was a well-liked pastime again when Apple was utilizing Intel chips in its laptops and desktops, although it’s fallen off now that Apple is on self-built Arm {hardware}.

However somebody is protecting the spirit of Hackintosh alive by working the newest macOS Sequoia construct on a Steam Deck.

Why would you’re employed actually lengthy and actually exhausting besides an working system that’s very pointedly not designed for gaming, on a tool that’s designed just about completely to play video games? Phooey. (Hackintosh folks care not to your paltry issues of “logic” and “widespread sense.” They do it for the love of… one thing, I assume. I don’t get it both.)

To this point, Twitter person and software program engineer @whatdahopper and their mates have gotten Sequoia’s restoration working… and never a lot else. (It’s price noting that macOS Sequoia continues to be being created and delivered for just a few of these last-gen Mac fashions with Intel processors, so that is certainly a Hackintosh within the basic sense, working with just a few tweaks on the Steam Deck’s AMD {hardware}.)

Based mostly on the tweet noticed by Tom’s {Hardware}, it’s solely displaying in portrait mode, which should make it an absolute PITA to really use with out exterior inputs. Oh, and apparently macOS detects the Steam Deck’s controller-based enter {hardware} as a modem. Ha.
