1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.

    Why would I trolling? And why are you so angry?

    I did not say this is about Macs having few games, it's about the microprocessor architecture, hence x86, ARM etc. ARM is still not powerful enough to handle bigger games, unless the devs specifically design their game for ARM, it won't run. This is not about game engines can compile for every operating system, it's about the architecture the game runs on. Also, game engines don't magically compile your game designed for Windows to other OSes, you still need to use native libraries, which technically makes it a port.

    There used to be many AAA games for Macs, like Call of Duty and GTA. They don't port their games anymore because Apple don't care about gaming and don't use powerful GPUs on Macs. Also, if Apple will only produce ARM Macs from now on, of course they won't get any of the games because ARM is completely different architecture and devs won't bother with it because they need to hire people specialized on ARM.

    ARM will probably become more powerful in the future but it's not something so soon. I'm talking about maybe 10 years? Anyway, there is also RISC-V and game companies are more interested in this than ARM.

    Yeah, just what I thought.
