No, Steam works sort of fine on Macs. It’s just that there’s not many new games on Apple these days. I think even native Linux might have more games these days.
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.
But it’s probably somewhat dependent on your distro and hardware. I have all AMD and Nobara, and with this combo I haven’t met a game that doesn’t work, at least in a year.
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.

I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s true. But in my mind, Linux gaming is basically perfect.
Luckily, I’m not into the kind of games that don’t work on Linux.
Yeah, with Proton enabled, Linux has 99% of all games in Steam these days.
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.
