Fortunately, this fucking windows partition I only keep for VR with my shitty Oculus Rift CV1 reminds me how fucked up the alternative is. I can't fucking wait to get a Steam Frame and ditch it.

Upgrading your GPU on a Mac:

You can't because it's part of the SoC, your whole ass computer is on one chip. Go add storage instead, externally.

I don't miss Windows either. I really don't miss PC gaming. Though, if my last gaming computer didn't crap out on me, I would probably be running Linux on it now. Sometimes I wish my wife would have chosen a PC I could put Linux on. I offered a cheap PC, a mid-range Mac, and a gaming PC. She chose the Mac after we looked into the cheap PC and found it couldn't support our monitor (well, Windows 11 wouldn't on that CPU/Chipset, it would only do 1080p, not sure if Linux could support 1440p on the same hardware, we didn't think about that).
