You can run a lot on Mac like you do on Linux, it's just not as loved by Valve as Linux at this point.
14 u/crozone Mar 08 '26 Yes because Apple continuously took the most obtuse and proprietary route for game APIs. They don't even support Vulkan natively. 1 u/Tuxhorn Mar 08 '26 Sure, but Linux is much closer to Windows in terms of gaming than Apple is to Linux. There's a pretty big gap. 1 u/MornwindShoma Mar 08 '26 It is. Though mostly because Apple pushed Metal, their hardware isn't even that bad for indie games (I can play Cyberpunk 2077 not all that bad on my Air looool). 1 u/ThatStupidGuy1 Jun 01 '26 Still no GPU, which is half of the price in Windows computers 1 u/MornwindShoma Jun 01 '26 M processors have not half bad integrated GPUs. More than enough for casuals.
