Tbh for some reason I always assumed there were more Linux gamers than Mac gamers lol

NGL, a few more rounds of sweet Asahi releases Linux might be better for gaming on the M1 series over MacOS. The devs actually have a Vulcan support built. Apple never bothered, lol.

Linux has always enjoyed better game support than MacOS. Even before Valve's efforts, it was possible to get most games running - sometimes fine, but often with bugs or defunct features. Some games ran even better with wine than on a modern Windows installation of its time.

However, this does not mean it was easy.

That old joke from like 2003 still rings true:

"You know which games are good on Mac because they already came out 10-15 years ago." 😂
