I just looked to see if Proton was available on Mac yet. Search results imply "basically, no." I found a 2023 article from Linus Tech Tips about GPTK (Game Porting Tool Kit) which is a terminal thing which uses some Crossover code. This isn't new, but it's not a user friendly solution.
I get that on Reddit, a snarky remark would get you lots of upvotes, and you could later sell the account to advertisers and a lot of people did that, but on Lemmy, votes don't really matter, I think it's just for show. So yeah, cool, you got one over on me. Bully for you. Now do you have a link, or... are you just being funny?
Your original comment was about sucking Microsoft's teat.
What the fuck does proton on Mac have to do with that?
Did you think the answer to dumping Microsoft was buying a Mac? Lmao.
You can move the goalposts with your words, but I can't afford to follow with my wallet, and I don't want to move backwards anyway.
JESSIE WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
YOU MOVED THE GOALPOST BY TALKING ABOUT MAC, AFTER I TOLD YOU PROTON FIXES THE WINDOWS DEPENDENCY!?!?
^Those are your words, that's the goalpost I was responding to. Its been stuck in concrete the entire time.
How delusional are you, you think the answer to fixing this was moving from Steve Ballmers nipple over to Tim Cooks? Obviously the answer is a free, community made OS anyone can install.
Not another fucking corporation.
What the fuck does your wallet have to do with this, Linux is free as in freedom and beer.
Also the idea that moving from Mac to Linux is backwards just because your computer doesn't handhold you is a joke. Convenience over function isn't an upgrade, its a crutch.
