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’m not gonna coerce her into using Linux, lol. That’s a surefire way to make sure she hates it and blames any little hiccups on Linux, even if it’s not the OS’s fault.
I have learned the hard way that insisting/coercing/whatever is a very bad strategy for spreading something that you think is better for the people/the planet. Anyway, what I do, is just say “I only work with libre systems because I have ethical guides” And, also because I cannot give you any support on windows, mac, whatsoever.

Rules:
1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy “anti-woke” energy, you probably shouldn’t be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Doesn’t work so well when it’s your wife you’re telling “no, I won’t help you,” to. 😂
