From what I’ve seen of Asahi Linux’s progress on emulation, Windows games are running pretty darn well on Apple Silicon - there’s still work to be done, but a lot of recent, complicated stuff is playable.
This gives a bit of hope for gaming on other ARM platforms.
I personally never want to touch anything Adobe ever again, but for my father’s and grandfather’s use cases, they still need it, so if it ends up working well, maybe it’ll finally allow them to use Linux.
