    Gaming on Mac was also more or less the same when it came to running windows games, had to use wine

    And I’m sorry y’all I know wine is awesome but using it manually is a pain in the ass and I hated it and I consider myself more of an enthusiast

        I haven’t used Mac in years, I wonder if Wine is now a much better experience as well compared to what it used to be.

          It is. But in some cases there’ll be a game or something that has requirements that are hard to wrestle with. For me it was a video game that needed specific libraries to run (possibly directX or whatever is current these days). After hours of attempts I downloaded Crossover and it worked instantly.

          Desktop applications like the Office suites typically ran well for me in WINE. although my experience with those is dated by now.

          I’m speaking from a macOS perspective but I’ve used WINE on Linux too.
