        I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s true. But in my mind, Linux gaming is basically perfect.

        Luckily, I’m not into the kind of games that don’t work on Linux.

            Now I want to see proton on Asahi Linux on a native apple silicon chip.

            I know it’s useless, I still want to try it for my nerd spirit.

              I tried it. Nothing works because of ARM sadly. I think it is coming close with Box86 but couldn’t get my games to run.

        Sort of fine is even an exaggeration. I gifted my GF don’t starve together the other week and steam froze and crashed 3 times just trying to log in. After an hour of trying and failing to get to the library page we just gave up. This is on the current model MBP

        I gotcha! Guess i remembered wrong about Macs! I think Linux have a lot of games now with the proton i read around 2900 games that work.

      I think Apple dropped some stuff that would make it so 32 but apps wouldn’t work and a ton of games are 32 bit apps. But I’m not sure if they actually did that or just talked about it.

        They did it since at least 2 OS version. It is impossible to run a 32 bit software on latest MacOS unless you keep an older version on dual boot. Or Linux but it is still a dual boot.

        From memory it did not had a huge impact, most 32 bit software or games are old enough that you slowly start to forget about it and just use something else.

          Back in 2019, apparently. Honestly felt like a lot longer

          Using Whisky it’s possible to install the Windows version of Steam, after which even 32bit games will run perfectly. I had Portal running on my M2 Air.

          It’s just so clunky to have to jump through those hoops.

      Valve has stopped supporting Mac on some games (cs2 afaik)
