Mthank you.
seems OpenGL is still fine on mac for the time being? I remember apple stopped updating it or something similar.

RI haven't had any real problems with OpenGL on Mac even on M1. Officially it is deprecated, but for the time being it works fine.
Myep, works fine for now
RYes, you are limited to 4.1 IIRC
Pand a crap implementation of 4.1 at that
RYeah
RReally? I would just go for metal if you are targeting Macs
SWhy not vulkan though?
PVulkan isn’t supported on macOS. MoltenVK is there, but you’re still using metal
RYeah... Not to mention, I've heard some people say that metal isn't bad to work with
RI wouldn't know. I don't really care
PMetal is my absolute favourite GPU API
Pit’s soooooo nice to work with
Pbut it plummets to the bottom of my tier list because of being Apple-only
RIf I were him considering he's looking to target Mac and hasn't mentioned anything about other operating systems. I would just target metal.
PA lot of my issues with the Apple developer ecosystem are business issues rather than actual dev issues, Apple are incredibly skilled at making really nice SDKs
SAnd limiting them to apple
RThey are one of the oldest. If not the oldest, still running personal computer companies to date
RApple 1 being regarded as the first real personal computer by many
RIIRC
RI would hope they have some good experience with it.
RThough I do happen to agree that Steve Wozniak s didn't really know what people actually wanted out of a computer. That being said, he was an excellent engineer. Don't get me wrong. But he was good at building computers. Those who were also like him wanted. Not what the general public wanted, jobs needed to reign him in a bit to get the company where it is today
PIn any case that’s slipping off topic
Fi wanna try metal but i dont currently have a apple machine
Fcurrently saving up for one though
Fi wanna try something new
Fwith how im thinking ill likely have one by the end of the year
KI also want to try something new, so I'm moving to linux
Fnice
Fi cant get used to linux as i just miss windows alot, stuff im just used to doing alot of stuff my parents want from me usually is just easier on windows
Kidk I kinda dislike windows tbh
Kstuff like tiled desktop seems very appealing
Kand tbh WSL is just not good
Fwdym by tiled desktop
Ftiled windows? cuz u can do that already
Kstuff like I3
Fi used i3 for 15 minutes and immediatly wanted it to stop
Kwhy?
Fi just want to move windows around with my mouse
Fand not have to think about where i want my next window to be
Fand stuff like that
Fyes its likely a matter of adjusting to it but i just hated it immediately
KI kinda get that but my workflow is largely alt-tab based anyways
Kso full window everything
Kand then sometimes I split it vertically
Kso I think it fits me well
Pi use linux at work
Pwell
Pkinda
Pi use the linux command line and that's enough to make me hate windows
