I used to wish for the day that macOS gaming could become a thing. Now I seem wiser or more understanding of larger issues. The mac desktop/os is great. It would be great if many games supported it natively.

However for the game makers where's the payoff? It's been long enough of Apple by their actions making it not a suitable platform as a gaming target. Even if it was today, there's little reassurance that there won't be some tech/policy change that impacts the publishers and gamers in an undesired way.

Today I use Apple hw/sw products in a commodity manner. Most apps/tools I use can or could easily be run elsewhere. I'm not interested in walling myself into anyone's garden.

I have been using a MacBook Air for less than a year and I don't see the greatness. Screen is okay, touchpad is a bit better but a lot bigger than at my HP Elitebook, battery time was twice better but it was degraded faster than elitebook, it is 3 hours vs 5 now for the same regular devops tasks (it was 4/8).

Mac OS... It is horrible. I can't actually describe this, maybe I'm just a linux binded user and gonna prefer Manjaro KDE forever.
