This is the best summary I could come up with:
Apple’s macOS has been the second most popular operating system on the Steam game distribution platform for a long time, but that has now changed.
Linux has surpassed macOS for the number two spot, according to Steam’s July user hardware survey.
Steam regularly asks its users to give an anonymized look at their hardware, and the company makes the information it gathers available each month.
The Steam Deck was first released a while ago, but it only became widely available without a waiting list last October.
It worked with game publishers to see high-profile releases like Resident Evil Village and No Man’s Sky in recent months, and those games run pretty well on modern Macs—certainly better than similar titles on Intel-based Macs with integrated graphics chips.
It also announced a new gaming porting tool in an upcoming version of macOS that works in some ways like Proton, as seen on the Steam Deck.
I’m a bot and I’m open source!
My kid got a pc. I installed linux on it.
I installed the exact same distro on my pc, as well as the same software, so i can attempt yo troubleshoot if needed.
So far its been rock solid. It runs pretty well too, despite it being an i5 4570
just wait until the MacDeck drops
It will cost 3 times as much, make the entire old library of games obsolete, only allow you to buy games from Apple, and have a strange controller that their marketing tells you is better but everyone knows is objectively worse.
make the entire old library of games obsolete
Uhm…what old library? LMAO.
Well, in this case, they already did that by switching to their new processor architecture, so they can cross that one off the list.
Yeah but that processor seems pretty nice. Would like to have one just to mess around with it
I’m curious if the decline in Mac gaming is due to the launch of GPTK. I know a few people using it on their Mac - does it count as Windows or Linux instead of MacOS?
Windows.
Doesn’t Linux include ChromeOS?
