macOS Install Guide
You will need to install homebrew. ARM users will also need Rosetta (I think), but homebrew should be the native version. Next we need wine that can run 32 bit binaries: brew install --cask --no-quarantine gcenx/wine/wine-crossover.

[Guide] How to run Nuclear Throne on MacOS X 15+
The standard Wine package also stopped working with the Catalina update. To get around this, we'll use a specific version of Wine, developed by Gcenx, made for MacOS 10.15+. To install it, you first need to install Homebrew. To do this, open the application Terminal (the easiest way to do this is hit Cmd + Space, then type "Terminal", then hit return), type in the following command, and hit return:

Will this laptop play LOTRO
Crossover from Codeweavers (which is a version of WINE) runs 32-bit applications on post-Mojave MacOS with a 32->64-bit conversion layer and one of the free/open-source versions of WINE based on the code donated by Codeweavers (located here: https://github.com/Gcenx/homebrew-wine) does the same thing.

KotOR 1 modding on MacOS
Ah, sorry, I assumed from you mentioning installing Wine that you had Homebrew already. Yeah, you need to install Homebrew, there's a command to copy on its website. Once that's done, you need to run the command on the page I linked above to install the fixed version of Wine. After that completes, you should be able to just run the exe (it may prompt you for permission to access a folder or two first), or if not it'll probably ask you to pick which app to use if you try (in which case you can just select Wine Crossover from the list it presents).

Time to Upgrade Your Monitor
> the 4K monitors the author recommends are not good for macOS due to them not supporting native retina scaling above 1080p
Is this true even with the help of 3rd party apps?
My 3840x1600 ultrawide has that problem using the native screen resolution tools but I can get it to full-res HiDPI using BetterDisplay [0].

Ideal Monitor Rotation for Programmers
It isn't a device, it's a software tool. It doesn't make the monitor magically 2x the resolution; it can trick macos to render onto a 5k buffer and then downscale the output to the physical display so it looks not-broken.
https://github.com/waydabber/BetterDisplay
I'm not saying that it'll make 4k look good. I'm saying macOS is unusable on native resolutions - everything is either too small or too blurry, so a 4k display won't do me any good. 25x14 is the sweet spot for me, but I guess Apple decided I'm holding it wrong.

An absolute must-have if you're using your Uperfect lapdock with a Mac!
So I installed the Better Display 2 app [link] , enabled HiDPI 1280x720, and suddenly everything looked both extremely sharp and in a good size. Judging by the size of the screenshot, it mimics Retina 2560 × 1440 and scales it down 2x to 1280x720, making it HiDPI. I can totally recommend you to do as I did.
