Yeah it has been for a while. The steam deck runs Linux out of the box.
Valve and open source devs have put a lot of effort over the years on projects like Photon which is a translation layer for Windows games.
- brookman64k 2y agoProton, not Photon. ;-) Here is a list with games and their support status: https://www.protondb.com/ https://www.protondb.com/
- zdragnar 2y agoThe question was "better on Linux on a Mac", meaning specifically Asahi Linux. The correct answer is no, not yet anyway. Linux running on x86 with proton is still the bee's knees for most games though.
- spease 2y ago> on a Mac Right. It sounds like the Asahi devs have implemented APIs which aren’t available under stock MacOS. Back when I was actively developing for Freespace, we had a Linux port that had a better framerate than Windows (the game’s original platform).
- fl0id 2y agoAfaik they are emulating, which you can do on macOS too. Still great that it works with Linux
- theLiminator 2y agoBetter on Linux on mac (as compared to macos) maybe?
