    Unfortunately, it seems like the main thing going on in that graph is the rise and fall of “Unknown”.

      Looks like something to do with Windows, so probably incorrect reporting of Windows 11 for a couple months or something.

      I think it’s interesting that macOS is getting so popular. I’m guessing people got excited about the M1/M2 Macs and that’s starting to add up to interesting numbers.

        But the pickup in macOS numbers in 2023? Intersection between the M-chip branding/hype and people needing to buy new laptops?

          Yup, that’s what I’m guessing. Now that there’s a second gen, people are also probably willing to take a risk on it. People hear that it’s faster than Intel chips, and they’re seeing that Apple is continuing to develop it, so they’re likely interested in trying it out.

          I think it’ll have a pretty hard cap though because macOS isn’t very compatible for gaming, but I guess we’ll see if double digit market share is enough to interest the gaming industry to target it.

            Yea. My impression though is that they’ve made their first move toward supporting games in their latest announcements. Some tooling for converting the code base to work with the M-chips and even running a chip emulator shim if you want despite the performance drop. Saw some video of someone playing a game at ok frame rates with it, so they could be serious about finally getting gaming happening to some extent.

              I’m interested to see if Apple continues to work on game support, or if they just leave it as is. The current support is a start, but Apple has historically not cared about games, and that perception will take a lot of effort to reverse.
