    Yeah it’s fine, we aren’t after the same thing with games and there’s no amount of objective data that will bridge that gap - which is why I didn’t bother to look then up for you, sorry not to satisfy your curiosity there.

    I’m not a Mac Stan or anything either, it’s just one of my daily drivers. I bet if you looked at the whole picture with everything I used at home and how, you’d probably just laugh. I don’t even use a KVM switch for my two desk computers, I just unplug my keyboard back and forth several times a day.

      Well I mean such data does exist, or easily could, assuming its possible to just turn on an FPS counter in a game on a Mac, or overlay one, and I don’t really see any reason why it wouldn’t be possible to run at least basic benchmarking on the same game on Win/Lin/Mac.

      Many games just do those things inside themselves in either a benchmarking mode, or have a console command that will display basic info like FPS.

      I don’t have a Mac though, and Mac users broadly don’t appear to be interested in even basic benchmarking.

      But also haha no I would not be surprised that using a KVM switch is generally a giant goddamned hassle and its generally easier to just have a few devices you move around, I have discovered that as well!
