    I hate Apple with passion, but my GF has a 2013 Macbook, that is still getting security updates and is totally usable.

    I replaced the spinning hard drive a while ago with a fast SSD, while using Clonezilla to copy the content and partitions of the drive.

    And you know what? It started like a rocket. It has an Intel CPU, but I don’t think installing Linux would have made it much better, especially UX wise.

    MacOS is more than half the reason most people buy a Mac and not a cheap laptop.

    Still nice meme tho. It’s way more relatable than I want to admit it.

    I can do indie grade game development on an M1 MacBook air. It’s wild how tech has progressed.

    But I do my day job work on a Linux mint laptop and have a windows gaming pc until such time as I can fuck that useless piece of shit software into the fucking ether where it belongs.

        Right now none specifically, but I haven’t really done an audit. I understand it’s pretty good nowadays with proton.

        What I don’t want is to accidentally play an unsupported game and get vac banned or something.

        If stellaris, total war and a handful of others worked I could probably convince myself to look into dual booting to try it out. I imagine OBS is fine. Streamdeck works on Mac so might be ok.
