    maybe missing out on a few games but that is probably a tie with Linux

    As some one who runs both: no, not even close. Mac has more direct ports than Linux true, but proton vastly outweighs that. I have dozens of games that show up on steam on my mac as unplayable where as I dont have any that wont run under proton.

    Five years ago you’d probably have been right, but Linux is far superior to OSX for gaming now.

    (E: assuming you’re talking about an apple silicon macbook, IDK the status of proton on x86 macs maybe it works there?)

      I’ll give you that as I honestly don’t care much about games so I don’t know much. I’ve read somewhere that apple has a game porting toolkit similar to proton and whisky was good enough the one time I wanted to launch a windows one but I don’t know if it’s any good.
