      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.

        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.

          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.
