Your totally right, I use Wine all the time. I do game in Windows much more than macOS because more games are written for Windows than MacOS or Linux and I would rather game on a computer.

MacOS and Linux users can use wine to run Windows many applications (Windows users also have access to Wine) although it isn't as easy to get running as powering up a computer and it is limited by the number of games that work well unless you are good at tinkering. Windows also has Vulkan (Open GL), which is also compatible with Linux and MacOS. Originally posted by hackintoshchap:Apple use Metal and it works extremely well:ĭX 12 is Windows 10 only. With desktop sales down over recent years and console sales increasing and a large amount of games available on mobile iOS or Android devices, gaming is more multiplatform than ever before and windows certainly isn't as dominent a platform as it once was. Console users appear to have an easy life gaming. They prefer a compact enclosure and included handset instead of a big box, expensive GPU, Keyboard, mouse and all the apparent hassle with understanding computer specifications and what games can and cannot be played well on particular hardware. Don't forget that Steam also favour another UNIX based OS - Linux and there is a growning Linux user community for a wide range of computing tasks including gaming.Ĭonsole users in the main do not seem to consider a windows pc to be for gaming these days. It is the operating system and the balance of CPU and graphics that will dictate if any computer will run which games with which operating system. Of the games that I can play on macOS they all run just fine - Quake and Tomb Raider were Mac games long before they ever appeared on the pc or console.Īn Apple Mac is a personal computer, just as a windows box is also a personal computer - Intel CPU, AMD, Intel or nVidia graphics make up Apple computers. I mainly game in Windows because the nVidia drivers are a little better, but mainly because some of the games that I play are not available on macOS.

They are mainly comprised of of off the shelf pc components and assembled the way any windows box would be built - the only difference is that they run and boot into several different operating systems. I have several pc hardware builds that run macOS and Windows.
