I will never understand why anyone would wanna do gaming on a Mac.

Speaking for myself, I love Windows and I ain't planning on moving off of Android, but the M1/M2/M3 Macbooks are setting a higher sexier bar, with a battery life nowhere to be found in the Windows ecosystem and also very light, which is always nice.

I'm getting a new laptop next year and I'm open to learning MacOS, but I also want to be able to play Rocket League with most settings on High and no bugs. I always keep an eye on /r/macgaming for that. If that's not possible then I'm getting a Zephyrus and wait for another 3-5 years to check again

I'm the same. I love the mac hardware but prefer windows os. My plan is to get a macbook and just use Boot Camp to run windows OS

I'm also very tempted by the ARM based Macbooks but

MacOS is still neglected platform for gaming
Windows actually gives me a curated Ubuntu to run under Windows Subsystem for Linux and WSL integrates beautifully with Windows. Brew is nice an all but it is amateur time compared to a proper linux distro

Can you please expand on why macOS is amateur time compared to WSL?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Why not?

The only reason why gaming isn't a thing on macOS is because Apple has historically not made it easy for developers to support macOS.

Other than that, it makes sense that users would want to use their Apple compute on games instead of booting into windows for a gaming session.
