Not being able to run video games is probably the main reason why I've been using Windows. </quote>The punchline here is the Apple thing is just WINE with the branding scrubbed off, so they're just mooching off all the work put into Proton.

CRON 07/15/23 7:58:55 PM #48:	[LFAQs-redacted-quote] You can customize your distro (OS) any way you want to the point where it looks and functions nothing like Windows or macOS, or you can just go with the vanilla experience but download themes and icon packs. You can also make it so that it functions exactly like Windows/macOS if you want. There's an advantage in performance too. There are people running modern Linux distros with up-to-date software on low-end laptops from over a decade ago. If you're on a high-end setup you'll notice things loading/launching faster and (some) games running faster. --- Thanks for reading! <cite>CRON posted [p:974862267] in I installe...
