Gaming on a Mac might be a reality in the next major update as they've added a "Game Porting Toolkit" that's very similar to Linux's Proton. It allows you to play Windows games on MacOS, with... Pretty good results, actually!

Seems like Mac is getting very serious about taking market share from Windows.

that’s very similar to Linux’s Proton.

It is Proton, just with an extra Metal translation layer on top

Is it? I thought it was a Wine fork, not necessarily proton

[–] Molecular0079 3 points 1 year ago

It's using Proton tech like DXVK. Proton is itself a fork of Wine anyways.
