[QUOTE="AkikoKumagara, post: 10219405, member: 410237"] It kind of does, they're both projects based on WINE, ultimately. The difference is on macOS right now, to play Windows games, one has to launch the Windows version of Steam, which is what Valve sees [I]as[/I] running on Windows as a result. There are some differences, like Proton supporting DX9-DX12, whereas Apple's alternative only works with DX11 & DX12. Proton also capitalizes on being able to use Vulkan for graphics using DXVK; Apple instead uses their own Metal graphics API. [automerge]1691352820[/automerge] As someone who uses Windows/Arch Linux/macOS, I can tell you this with confidence: macOS is the worst for gaming. Its insistence on using the Metal graphics API holds it back from even being a contender, and OpenGL games of the past also suffer because OpenGL is just bad[I] on macOS[/I]. We're talking about like half of the performance of other operating systems (on a good day) when it comes to OpenGL, on the same hardware. [/QUOTE]
