I’m probably going to play dwarf fort on my desktop once the trial is over - I don’t have the disposable income to justify buying CrossOver.
There are a bunch of games on steam that natively work on my M1 mac, so you can try suggesting Slay the Spire to your friend for example. For multiplayer, satisfactory and 7 days to die both have native Mac versions available through steam.

I’ve started a two-week free trial of CrossOver, the paid macos wrapper for wine whose developers contribute to wine, in order to play dwarf fortress on my M1 MacBook. It works like a charm, and the setup to get the game running is just like how Lutris does their “pre-packaged” game installations.
Dwarf Fortress Classic (without the premium graphics) is a bit disappointing; the ASCII graphics don’t seem to be able to render crosshairs on the tile you point at with your mouse and so designating certain things like bridges and screw pumps is hard - if I hadn’t played a bunch of Premium on a linux box through steam I don’t think I would understand half of what’s going on. For the first time since purchasing Premium I’m missing the old, keyboard-centric user interface… Other than certain things not rendering, the updated UIs are surprisingly pleasant to navigate in ASCII mode.
Making crafts from mussel shells is still as overpowered as ever for bootstrapping a fort’s trade capacity!

I’m surprised that you’re talking about models being CUDA-specific or AMD-specific. I’ve had a bunch of models running on my amd-only pc, using ollama, lemonade, and lm-studio, through either rocm or vulkan. None of these models were billed as AMD-specific. I had to do some config tweaking for ollama to use my graphics card but that’s more because I have a weird in-between-generations card that also predates the LLM hype (6700XT).
However, I did generally need to look for the GGUF format versions of things - usually accounts like unsloth have them uploaded on huggingface barely a day or two after the original version gets posted.
