Steam, on Linux and Steam on Windows are very similar experiences. Is it much worse on the Mac?


It's a similar experience, but the library of natively supported games is fairly small, and ports are often poor quality - especially older games that haven't been updated in a long time and are broken in various ways on newer Mac versions. The most common problem I run into is the lack of high-DPI support, which means that you can't run the game at full 4K even if your display supports it.


This is a reason many Linux gamers just use the proton version of the games in Steam. It's more consistent.
