tl;dr: you can run windows games with crossover, requires extra manual configuration to make performance better, has input lag and you can get 1080p at medium.

None of that sounds amazing. If you want to play these games without a windows machine, a steam deck seems a much better option.
- bschwindHN 1y agoIt's amazing that it works at all, but yeah the setup sounds like a total pain. I've mostly just stuck with gaming on the Switch because it starts up fast, doesn't update excessively, and mostly just gets out of the way to let me play the game I want to play. This is only in the context of first party titles though, I can't speak as well to third party titles.
- muro 1y agoI do appreciate the article though - was thinking about repurposing a M1 MacBook for games for kids and this tells me it is a better idea to sell it and get a different computer instead, maybe a second hand workstation for cheap.

- EasyMark 1y agoI run most things on linux, no game is important enough for me to switch back to windows or give them another dime
