Someone else said that Apple want everyone to use Metal on MacOS, and they don’t properly support OpenGL. Which seems like a bigger problem than absence of some variants of Wine.

It’s not they don’t properly support opengl, is that they intentionally chose to stop any kind of development on opengl 8 years ago, so devs are forced to choose between using an ancient version of opengl or make a native “metal” build.

Their idea is that once devs spent thousands of hours on their “metal” engine, then they will focus exclusively or primarily on apple devices

  I don’t quite understand what ‘stop any kind of development’ means here. Do you mean OpenGL in the GPU drivers?
