I have an 16GB M1 Pro and it's a great machine. I want to jump the shark on a M3 max. Feels like some computer that should last 4-5 years much like my m1. However I keep an ugly ass full AMD Asus ROG laptop running Linux for gaming. I want to wait for the dust to settle on the Proton-like compatbility layer feature. I know crossover exists but past experiences lead me to believe is not as compatible as Proton. Back in 2021 I've tested various programs that worked well on Proton but not so well in Crossover. Hopefully the Metal enhancements fix it.

Ya I'm on an M1 Max with 64G of ram, and it's still great. I know the M2 and M3 now (for Max) have more memory bandwidth, which is attractive, but otherwise...meh.
