I’ll still say it—Linux with Nvidia is a better gaming experience than a Mac.

Sure, Macs are capable machines, but their game library is even smaller. On Linux, you’ll at least have far more titles that actually run. -

@trinsec @atomicpoet MacOS isn't Unix. It's Posix compliant though (which it got from BSD code, and why people think they are related).
Wine runs on Mac. Valve previously had Proton running, but changes to the OS and the switch to Arm caused them to stop working on it. At least, that's what I heard.

@bryanredeagle @trinsec Akshually…
macOS isn’t just POSIX-compliant—it’s officially certified UNIX
by The Open Group under the Single UNIX Specification.
Under the hood, the Darwin kernel mixes Mach and BSD, which is where the POSIX bits come from. But that certification means it plays in the big leagues—it’s full-on UNIX, not just UNIX-adjacent.
And about Proton: Valve never officially supported it on macOS. It’s a Linux thing. The ARM shift just made life harder since Proton leans heavily on Linux and x86 translation.
