I mean, Macs are certainly a viable alternative for many people...
But if you wanna use your PC to play games?
About 25% of Steam's library runs on Mac.
Whereas if you look at ProtonDB, 81% of games are either gold or platinum on Linux in general, 86% if you throw silver in.
That's gonna be a major hangup for a lot of people who want a PC that isn't Windows.
Oh right, that and Macs are all overpriced as fuck for the average consumer, when we are about to enter into the Second Great Depression.
Every time I look at Macs I just can't get over how ridiculous they are in terms of pricing. Combined with the inability to upgrade after the fact. Buying one would just doom me to buying another a few years down the line, much better to just never get stuck in the ecosystem in the first place.
Even the steam deck is more upgradeable!
Find a better, or equally good computer than the Mac Mini M4 at the same price.
Already have, there are loads of mini PCS on the market that were comparable to the Mac mini. Just do a Google search.
Better or equally good, not comparable. I know there’s a bunch of them, but none offer better or equally performance for the price, only “comparable”.
