    NGL, I’m surprised macOS was even ahead of Linux given Apple’s deep-seated, cultural disinterest in gaming.

      No, you’re wrong! Apple is going all in on gaming. Again! First Myst, then Quake 3, then iPhone games on M1, and now a port of one game from 2019 using Wine. What a time to be a Mac gamer.

        lol! Weirdly the upcoming release of MacOS actually will be the most they’ve tried in decades.

        Their translation layer is basically a rip of Proton. Obviously this isn’t going to replace anyone’s Desktop or gaming laptop. But it’s nice to see Mac users are at least being thrown a bone.

          Their translation layer is basically a rip of Proton.

          Of CodeWeavers’ Wine which I already mentioned. Proton is more than just Wine but Apple’s implementation does not use the Vulkan translation but their own Metal wrapper.
