No, Steam works sort of fine on Macs. It’s just that there’s not many new games on Apple these days. I think even native Linux might have more games these days.

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.

Yeah, with Proton enabled, Linux has 99% of all games in Steam these days.

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.

My own experience with Linux and Steam currently (and since roughly beginning of 2023 at least) is that 99% of all games work on Linux/Proton if you enable Proton for everything.

But it’s probably somewhat dependent on your distro and hardware. I have all AMD and Nobara, and with this combo I haven’t met a game that doesn’t work, at least in a year.

In my experience, distro and hardware hardly matters at all.
The 99% figure seems to be about right (I have 2 games out of 240 I can’t get to work).
I have an nvidia card and recently tried out Debian, Opensuse, Slackware and Arch, with equal results.

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
