Though really I’d probably just keep gaming on the Deck, that lives in the living room; the Mac is at the studio desk or a table in a cafe doing work, and it’s nice to not have a pile of games right there offering to distract me…

I see the repo has fairly recent updates, but the website says the project is no longer actively maintained. https://docs.getwhisky.app/maintenance-notice
Interesting! It wasn't the case when I first downloaded it last month!

#77I may be biased with my nice high end setup (Ryzen 9900X, 32 GB RAM, RX 6700 XT about to upgrade to 9070 XT) but 40 FPS at 1080p is NOT "great".

This is probably true though as a non-gamer and recent mac convert I have basically zero complaints. Windows these days is full of too much crap that sucks away attention and makes it hard to use.

I daily drive MacOS, Windows 11 and Linux Mint on different devices and Windows doesn't particularly bother me post de-bloating, and it easily has the most reliable multi monitor/variable DPI when docking/undocking of the three in my experience.

I simply run this Powershell script once on a fresh install of Windows 11 and don't have to deal with any annoyances even after updates. https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat I daily drive MacOS, Windows 11 and Linux Mint on different devices and Windows doesn't particularly bother me post de-bloating, and it easily has the most reliable multi monitor/variable DPI when docking/undocking of the three in my experienc…
