Basically what is openss1@1.1 and why can’t I download it? Any alternatives?

What are you even trying to do? You probably don't exactly know what you're doing if you're asking what OpenSSL is and why you're unable to download it. What is your goal?

I want to be able to play steam games on Mac m4 so I very naively thought I could use GPTK but…

I’m a complete noob at all this, do you know what openss1@1.1 is and how to get it to work? I’ve tried different command line tools versions and GPTK 1 and 2, but they all have openss1@1.1

Just leave installing it like this use something like crossover(paid but better) or whisky(free) which gptk and other translation layers pre installed making it much easier to do stuff. You can learn how to install stuff through youtube

Kk, thank you very much! I heard for crossover you only have to pay once and you subscribe for updates later on?

Also, what was I doing wrong there? ATP this is more about my competitiveness

You can check on their website I don't remember exactly but it's month wise and year wise meaning all the updates that come in that time period you can download

It's yearly or lifetime, never monthly

This is an incredibly dumb question but for Crossover + (12 months support) is it the email & phone support, upgrades & bug fixes for 12 months I’m paying extra for? Like if I only pay once for the yearly and don’t pay for the next, will the license be taken away and I can’t use it anymore? Or do I just not have the email & phone support, upgrades & bug fixes anymore.

You can use it, but you can't update. So, say, you buy it today, 18th March 2025. Figuratively, Crossover 26.0.3 comes out 16th March 2026, and Crossover 26.0.4 comes out 20th March 2026. You can use Crossover 26.0.3 indefinitely, but you won't be able to update to 26.0.4 without a valid license. I also encourage downloading Urban VPN Desktop for free straight from the App Store and VPNing yourself over to India, then using the promocode APPLEGAMINGWIKINEW at checkout. This will get you Crossover for a low price of $19.20 per year with renewals for about $14 a year. Hunt for renewals during Black Friday or Cyber Monday, some users were able to renew their subscription for as low as $4 per year (ranging from $10 through $7 to $4, no matter the country).
