@neme I like how the devs were like “eh, it’s not even that good of an app, whatever”

Yeah well because Apple doesn’t allow JIT compilation, so the performance would’ve sucked anyway.

I’d guess Windows for Arm would perform fine though.

Not really… I have tried it before on an m1 iPad. It is not usable for any windows version. XP for example takes over 15 minutes just to boot. It takes multiple seconds for clicks to register, etc.

Linux, like Debian for example, will be much more usable, but still far from anything you would call a smooth experience.

Again, not having JIT really kills the performance here.
