Oh man. I don’t get this complaint. There’s a quadrillion of Windows only software, basically 99% of games are Windows only. Most of Gnome and Kde apps are Linux(BSD) only. Yet they don’t scream on the home page “Watch Out! It’s Windows only!”
Yet everyone assumes that Mac users dream of using their apps on some other OS. Why? I have no idea.
- rob74 4y agoIt's not Mac users dreaming to use their apps on some other OS, it's non-Mac users stumbling over articles like this one on HN and wasting time before eventually learning that this app is not for them. "99% of games are Windows only" is no longer true, thanks to Valve's Proton - but finding out if a game is Windows only is usually as easy as looking at the system requirements.

You click on the "Tech Specs" menu item, scroll to (or search for) the "System Requirements" section, and get: "Pixelmator Pro requires macOS 11 Big Sur or later and is fully optimized for Macs with Apple silicon."
