Not the best example as Cyberpunk 2077 will get an official macOS release soon (and it works via translation layers right now as well), but yeah Linux is obviously miles ahead of macOS in terms of game compatibility.

I don't think any sane person buys a Mac specifically for gaming. Aside from game compatibility, you'd need to spend a lot of money on an M4 Max or M3 Ultra to get graphics performance in the realm of "mid-tier" dedicated GeForce/Radeon GPUs.

But if you buy a specced out Mac Studio with 512 GB of RAM and whatnot for machine learning and it happens to be decent at playing (compatible) games, heh, why not?
