  No, Steam works fine on Macs. It’s just that there’s not many new games on Apple 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.

        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.

  Valve has stopped supporting Mac on some games (cs2 afaik)
