I am considering purchasing new parts to build a new PC. I've been on a Mac (M1) and Linux (first gen thread ripper and Nvidia graphics card) for many years now. One of the reasons I am considering it is simply, Windows 11. Now, I am not saying I am fond of Windows but, the truth is all my old games were really written FOR windows. I haven't played Skyrim in years. I can play a good number of games on Linux thanks to steam and thanks to Glorious Eggroll and his versions of Proton.
On the Mac, I am much more limited. The M1 architecture is still not being accepted for most gaming companies and while Apple has done some wonderful work with emulation... well... you know.
SO! I am considering a new build, even though I cannot REALLY afford it. The current build I have spec'ed out is around 1800.00 USD. And it will be the first build I've done with an Intel CPU in about a decade.
The other thing is two of the games I DO play on my mac and cannot currently get installed (easily) on my linux box are Star Stable Online and Diablo III. They would run perfectly on Windows.
Not to mention, thinking Diablo IV might work on the Mac as well, I purchased it early. But they have no plans on making it compatible with Mac OS or Linux so I am again, stuck with a pricey game I cannot play. (Hey, I know, that is MY fault, not the game company's fault).
Anyway, that's my update!
