I only bought a Mac because I like the experience and unix utilities for programming. I still use Windows when I want to game on PC. Presumably this is the case for a lot of developers?
- sys_64738 8y agoWindows Subsystem for Linux provides this natively now. It is very, very effective.
- beatgammit 8y agoHave you tried Steam Play? It has worked quite well for me on Linux, and I know Proton works on macOS (not sure if you still have to build from source), but it could be enough to get you away from dual booting. I dual boot Windows and Linux, but since I default to Linux, I find myself choosing to do stuff on Linux instead of rebooting (even though rebooting takes ~10s). Only rarely do I get a hankering for a Windows-only game. I wonder if Valve's initiative will get enough games to work that people increasingly switch to Linux/macOS for gaming.
