Does something like Whisky work in the new macOS Apple Silicon world? I assume its quite a bit slower to simulate Windows while at the same time translating x86 to Apple Silicon. I ask because this would be a justified break from this project, it's kind of a nightmare setup, you're better off just buying a $300 Windows laptop at Walmart or something.

It's not. It's very fast, especially for gaming. Playing POE 2 with GPT2 or a recent wine version at max setting on 60+ FPS on those days. On a M3 MAX.

Tried Noita on an M2 Air. Yikes, unplayable.

Really need the fan to maintain clocks while stressing the CPU and GPU. Still depending on the game the Air can still be pretty impressive, especially for native games.
