GPTK2 Is honestly magic, thanks to Heroic Launcher I can quickly install my Epic Games library games and have them up and running quickly with great frame rates at decent graphics quality as well.

For those interested I also made a custom icon for Heroic to better fit the style of macOS as the default one isn't great in my opinion.

I may not need Windows again...ever. I was only using it at home for games but today I looked in to running modded Minecraft via CurseForge and that was extremely stable. I did have to tweak a couple of mouse settings on macOS and inside Minecraft, but those were easy. The experience felt practically the same in my short test.

I found the macOS app Whisky, got that installed via homebrew, installed Steam, got logged in, and downloaded Gunfire Reborn. A quick loading screen later and it looks like that's also running very well at 60 FPS.

The next game to try will be Satisfactory. If that works well, I'm copying my save files over and unplugging my Windows PC.

As an added bonus, my Mac is about 10 years newer than my gaming PC so everything is that much faster. Especially loading screens. I was thinking of building a new Windows 11 PC but now I don't need to. I can also completely avoid Microsoft Recall.

I did upgrade the graphics card to a 2070 Super, back in 2019. I certainly got my use out of that computer, but have no interest in running Windows desktop anymore.
