I can do indie grade game development on an M1 MacBook air. It's wild how tech has progressed.
But I do my day job work on a Linux mint laptop and have a windows gaming pc until such time as I can fuck that useless piece of shit software into the fucking ether where it belongs.
What game keeps you on windows?
Right now none specifically, but I haven't really done an audit. I understand it's pretty good nowadays with proton.
What I don't want is to accidentally play an unsupported game and get vac banned or something.
If stellaris, total war and a handful of others worked I could probably convince myself to look into dual booting to try it out. I imagine OBS is fine. Streamdeck works on Mac so might be ok.
Can confirm at least Stellaris works
Stellaris has a native linux build 🥰 Edit: all paradox games have native linux builds
Basically every game runs fine on Linux, just not those games with strict anti cheat.
NGL I bought a new MacBook (m1) as that arm processor is just killer. Still mis Linux on that machine though.
(I know about Asahi, but I haven't heard about it's current state in the last few years since it's initial debut)
Xenia should have been our official mascot. C'mon, Linus, make it happen. The penguin is boring.
Maybe they want an Apple laptop because they want something that’s nice, runs major software, and doesn’t force the user to spend half their life in the command line.
People like this remind me of jerks driving around in lifted trucks and cars with loud exhausts calling everyone else a “pussy”. There’s nothing but insecurity that drives attitudes like this.
Can we not just have fun and talk shit about something? It's not that serious. I own a Mac even (it was inherited though).
tbh this comment just goes to show that your knowledge of GNU/Linux is very outdated
Of course it doesn’t. But if it makes you feel better to make things up about someone you disagree with, I can’t stop you.
i mean, for you to spend "half your life" in the command line, you'd have to be on a quite terminal intensive path? There are quite a lot of less intimidating Gui's and on no distro I've ever been on has there been that much need for terminal.
Hell, after installing arch it still ran fine and I could get all my gui's, without much terminal fuss (after installing in pure terminal)
It's an incredibly useful tool, but not that needed for everyday use.
runs major software
You'd probably want to go for Windows in that case? There's plenty of software that doesn't have a MacOS version.
