I’m genuinely concerned about https://github.com/Whisky-App/Whisky (wine for mac). If they make games run well on mac, there’ll be less of a chance for mac users to want to switch to linux in order to game.
And when windows users get burned by windows 12, they’ll most likely switch to a Mac if gaming works on it.
Given just how good apple’s SOCs have gotten, more power to them if that’s what they want. If they’re willing to switch to apple they were never seriously interested in linux.in the first place
Who knows, maybe they’ll all of a sudden decide to invest in that if Maccies find out they can play games, but are unsatisfied with the performance. Anything can happen.
From what I’ve heard the GPU in the newest, most expensive iPhones is okay and a good step up but the chip in Macs is basically the same as in iPhones, just more cores, more memory, and not power constrained because of cooling. I think it’s pretty clear that Apple develops these for iPhone first and Macs are just an afterthought.
If that’s the case, then there is no danger - for now. But if Apple’s CEO wakes up on the wrong side of the bed and says “I want to tear up the gaming industry”, he totally could.

The GPU portion of the M chips is still crap by comparison to what AMD offers. The CPU part they genuinely deserve credit for but that’s it.
