Haven't heard anything about this yet, but hoping that Big Sur allows for portrait orientation with sidecar. Anyone?

I apologize. I was convinced it'd work in portrait mode but I was mistaken. Duet Display works in portrait mode, not sidecar. Didn't test it with Big Sur yet but intend to. Sorry for the mistake. 🙁

So I can connect a display (2 displays really) and one of them can be portrait. However sidecar is forceable configured to be only landscape as opposed to portrait... which I think is a bit of a problem. I could add an extra display for visualizing data, browsing long websites, writing code, etc... and enhance my current view... but I can't do that with SideCar currently... I can view all those apps but in landscape mode only.
