What is inferior to macOS to Windows? (in addition to games, etc.)
Apple Open Source Resources
- Apple releases a Game Porting Tool, based on open-source platform Wine, which can translate DirectX 12 into Metal 3, a potentially massive step for Mac gaming

Apple’s new Proton-like tool can run Windows games on a Mac
Apple does plenty of open source stuff. Safari's browser engine, Swift, libdispatch, the XNU kernel used by iOS and macOS, etc. And macOS is generally packed with open source things, like the default shell, zsh. Also, Metal actually predates Vulkan, so Vulkan was definitely not established when they started focusing on Metal. Yeah, they probably should consider supporting Vulkan now, but it's nothing to do with open source. The main beneficiaries of Apple supporting Vulkan would be people porting closed-source games.

DirectX 12 Support on macOS
It's still not a great thing to do. Apple used to contribute a lot more, even if some of their stuff was exclusive to their platform. https://opensource.apple.com

Improving Firefox Responsiveness on macOS
There's quite a bit of macOS that's open source. The author links to source code in Firefox, and that source code has links to Apple's source code:

A Close Look at a Spinlock
Yes, but it's not so uncommon for "spinlocks" to evolve into not-actually-spinlocks. In the Linux kernel, spinlock_t is actually a mutex if PREEMPT_RT is enabled [1]. And Darwin has some code to do this in userspace [2], although I'm not sure if it's actually used.

No one even read the box64 readme for today's RISC-V video
In the video, they mentioned they can't run steam on RISC-V because box64 doesn't support 32bit apps. In the README of box64, it is mentioned:

Stardew Valley on Starfive VisionFive 2 running Ubuntu 23.10 with external Ati Radeon HD 5450
I see it can do more now, already tried some stuff. But see it is now more mature than months ago. Will try factorio again https://github.com/ptitSeb/box64/issues/665

runing factorio on raspberry pi 5 4gb ram
Also, in the discussions of box64 is this thread: https://github.com/ptitSeb/box64/discussions/524 My guess is that you have to install both box64 and box86, the latest mesa drivers with vulkan support. And then try to launch the game with proton. There is also this issue that shows factorio running on a Rock 5B: https://github.com/ptitSeb/box86-compatibility-list/issues/284

Runing factorio on raspberry pi 5 4gb ram
In Box64, which is an emulator+JIT recompiler, and thus likely pretty slow?

DirectX 12 Support on macOS
macOS runs x64 executables just fine through Rosetta so I don't see why Wine couldn't make use of that hardware acceleration.
It's also possible to only simulate the entrypoints through Rosetta and then execute native aarch64 code from there. On Linux https://github.com/ptitSeb/box64 does exactly that, for example. However, with the performance Apple has been able to squeeze out of Rosetta, I'm not sure of that workaround is even necessary.

Factorio on Arm: A Benchmark
Recently, I got a server from Oracle Cloud, having 4 cores and 24GB of RAM. Then, using a software called Box86 and its 64 bit version called Box64, I succeeded in running Factorio! Unfortunately, 1.1.80 ran at 3 UPS! I went through each major version, testing each individual one down to 0.12. Here are my results!

How to emulate on M1 mac?
You could try https://github.com/ptitSeb/box86 and https://github.com/ptitSeb/box64/ , I believe they allow you to emulate x86_64 on aarch64, though I have no experience with them, so cannot say for sure.

currently trying to get tf2 to work, but steam removed 32 bit support (wanted to use box86) with their html login thing, so i just have this system laying around collecting dust lmao

How to run Linux games on ARM64
If you have time and patience take a look at box86 and box64. These are basically like translation layers that allow x86/x86_64 applications to run on ARM. I personally haven't use them yet, so I can't provide a guide or vouch for game compatibilities. But by the look of the progress made by them so far it looks promising.

Still a bit slow as Dynarec is not complete, but Stardew Valley now works on my StarFive2 with Box64
You can follow progress of this on https://github.com/ptitSeb/box64/issues/635
