I thought that the Mac could run Wine.

EDIT: Yeah, it can. It's even in the title of the winehq.com main page.

Valve may not have people working on making it a seamless experience a la Linux, but I bet that one can get most of the same games working if one bangs on it.

Works on an arm device too?

Why, did Apple switch the Macs to ARM recently?

Man, they did. I was with them for the PowerPC era, and that was a terrible idea. Well, I guess we'll see what happens.

Yeah, looks like they got it working back then.

Mac users with M1 chips powering their sleek hardware but still hankering to run Windows apps on it take note: software compatibility layer Wine, which is definitely not an emulator, has made this possible in a recent update.

Wine 6.0.1 is a maintenance release, but the ability to run 64 bit Windows apps on MacOS Big Sur for M1 Macs (along with more than 60 other bugfixes) is a bit of a big deal, as it doesn’t support Boot Camp, and none of the big virtualization apps has managed to get X86 Windows running yet, only the Insider Preview version of the ARM port.
