    “always” in this case is when you have two or more gpus in your system, which limits the ability to “just” run a vm considerably.

      Ah, for gaming, yes Macs are not fantastic gaming machines that’s for sure.

      Then again, Linux has long been known to have issues with gaming as well, especially with an Nvidia card…

      Unless you use Steam, and then both work, kinda?

      Still it seems like it’s Linux and Mac OSX on one side, and Microsoft left behind thousands of years in the past, except maybe for gaming where literally an old Windows running on a VM may run the widest selection of games?

      But I still don’t see the logic of grouping Macs together with Windows, even for gaming.

      For VMs, I expected more someone to bring up the switch to the M1 chipset, a huge setback for VMs definitely even if temporary, though I’m old enough to remember that Linux and Macs both running Intel were often easier to get things running on than Linux on Intel vs. Linux on AMD. But things definitely change over time, as to what is easiest at any given moment.

      Microsoft sucks tho - now THAT’S universal. Can’t we all just get together, united in our hate for it?! (/s, or, well, actually… not!)

      Edit: hey, anyone want to start like an anti-Windows or I-fucking-hate-fucking-Windows community? I’ll join it today if you do!? :-)
