Honestly Apple sucks for not providing proper support for video games. People buy 3k usd laptops and can’t run videos games on it because of lacking software. I don’t understand how anyone with get invested with their VR when the hardware will be held hostage to whatever the overlords find it fit for.
Apple has absolutely cornered the mobile market, so that’s probably why they don’t seem to be in any hurry to seriously support the PC gaming space.
They tend to focus hard on niches they can overcome, and PC/console gaming is a little too established for them to stick their toes in. They tried with the Pippin and the pre-Halo era of gaming, but it didn’t work out for them.
If the Apple headset takes off, they may start pushing harder for VR game support, but who knows?
I bought my Macbook for working not for playing. Don’t think anyone who buys a macbook cares that much that they can’t play on it (which I am pretty sure is not true but I don’t care to check how many of my steam games runs on it)
also if you can drop 3+k on a macbook what is dropping another 500 on a PS5?
I agree with you that it’s great for work. I got a MacBook with Apple silicon for $2.5k and it’s been great. The games isn’t that big a deal because A) i have a desktop computer with Linux and can run 98% of games just fine and B) with parallels you can run a lot of Windows games on Mac. Darkest Dungeon for example I play through that
My main complaint is I can’t install Linux on the laptop yet. I know Asahi Linux is working on it but it’s not quite there. It’d be like putting an old engine in a sports car. So I’m stuck with MacOS for now. Not ideal but better than Windows.
Having said all that, a PS5 is not a proper replacement for a PC. Most of the games I play are all strategy games.
MacOS is kind of annoying. Linux gives you a lot more control over the system and I sort of like to micromanage the OS. Still, there are workarounds for a lot of stuff. For example I found a tiling window manager for MacOS.
Ultimately still much better than Windows. MacOS and Linux are actually very similar. There’s brew, a package manager. I have a nice terminal with fish shell. I copied over my neovim config & plug-ins. On the terminal it’s hard to tell most of the time whether you’re using MacOS or Linux.

why do you want to install linux on a macbook?
To have a fully functional OS?
MacOS is kind of annoying. Linux gives you a lot more control over the system and I sort of like to micromanage the OS. Still, there are workarounds for a lot of stuff. For example I found a tiling window manager for MacOS.

That’s not the point. It’s a computer that is artificially limited because you’re not the owner of it.

Lol being so aggressive and defensive doesn’t help your case. Get some help dude, bye 👋
They provide lots of support for video games. Graphics support, controller support, everything you’d need
