I have a question about... Gaming on Mac. I know, I know. It's for my wife, though. Lol!
She has a very old Windows laptop that I cannot convince her to let me put Linux on to improve its life. I'm looking to source an upgrade for her. She is an iPhone person, through and through, and I thought it might be nice to get something for her in that ecosystem. So, I'm looking into a MacBook of some sort.
The question: how does a MacBook hold up to light gaming? We're talking Sims 4 and Minecraft, primarily.
I've honestly had a better experience running a Windows VM with parallels, and inside the VM running certain games with windows' translation layer.
Also very minor, but actually important. Rosetta2 doesn't do 32 bit emulation, it only does 64 bit emulation. For whatever ungodly reason developers still compiled their programs for x86 despite not being capable of running on the few 2006 model Intel Macs that are 32 bit. And a LOT of games were only ever compiled for x86 on Mac so they will not run.
