Yes, you can absolutely install macOS on your Steam Deck.

And no, it’s absolutely useless.

macOS also on Steam Deck

If there was a time when getting your hands on a Steam Deck was a miracle, the portable console signed Valve is now available in just one to two weeks. A portable console that delights many hackers, some do not hesitate to push the experience to install macOS on their machine.

This is the case of a Reddit network user (nickname Lampa183) who used Virtualbox to come and install a perfectly functional version (despite a few rare slowdowns) of macOS Catalina on his Steam Deck. Like a DOOM installed on the Notepad of Windows, the operation has no interest, if it is not to carry out a technical demonstration, and to prove again the impressive flexibility of the machine of Valve.

Note that the latest update to the Steam Deck allows users to access the complete list of components for their machine, without having to reverse engineer it. For the manufacturer, it was important to respond to a significant demand from customers for this technical information.
