That it doesn't exist on macOS?
The point I was making is that the overwhelming number of games on steam are windows only games, the valve semi-supports on linux via proton, which they do not offer on macOS. The net result is anyone jumping through hoops on macOS to use steam+wine is recorded as a windows user, even if there were even remotely meaningful number of such users.
Hence linux steam users matching macOS steam users is an obviously plausible outcome.
- thefurdrake 3y agoOh! That makes sense. Hoping to see more movement on Mac compatibility in the future, but even with the recent game porting tools, I won't be holding my breath. It's sad, these laptops seem like they'd be decent for casual gaming (One of my main computers is a MBP. I use all the OSes.)
