Comment on How Are You Guys Handling This?
Katana314@lemmy.world 6 days agoDoes Proton even work on Macs? It seems pretty clear at this point Linux is a far better gaming OS.
no, it does not.
a lot of mac games that came out before apple silicon simply will not run.
ive had mostly poor results trying to run games with crossover and whisky.
your best bet is to stick with the limited selection of games that have native apple silicon releases. with these and my m2 mac mini im still experiencing some pretty bad input lag. i am sticking to rimworld and stellaris.
From an colleague of mine, who bought an M1 Macbook Pro when they were new; he told me that there was a Wine fork (don’t know the name sadly) for Apple silicon which kinda worked with most (older) Steam games, not as nice as Proton on x86-64 Linux, but good enough for his game tastes. Don’t know if it’s still maintained or not…

Nope, that would be FEX. And support for Apple Silicon is currently on the roadmap. So maybe in a couple of years.

Might be possible to run proton in a VM?:
