I have a question about… Gaming on Mac. I know, I know. It’s for my wife, though. Lol!

She has a very old Windows laptop that I cannot convince her to let me put Linux on to improve its life. I’m looking to source an upgrade for her. She is an iPhone person, through and through, and I thought it might be nice to get something for her in that ecosystem. So, I’m looking into a MacBook of some sort.

The question: how does a MacBook hold up to light gaming? We’re talking Sims 4 and Minecraft, primarily.

    I’m not gonna coerce her into using Linux, lol. That’s a surefire way to make sure she hates it and blames any little hiccups on Linux, even if it’s not the OS’s fault.

      I have learned the hard way that insisting/coercing/whatever is a very bad strategy for spreading something that you think is better for the people/the planet. Anyway, what I do, is just say “I only work with libre systems because I have ethical guides” And, also because I cannot give you any support on windows, mac, whatsoever.

        Doesn’t work so well when it’s your wife you’re telling “no, I won’t help you,” to. 😂
