Asahi Lina is truly an inspiration for open source reverse engineering. For those not aware, they also live stream their coding sessions quite often: https://www.youtube.com/@AsahiLina

I'm excited for the day that I can easily install SteamOS (the modern one that runs on the Steamdeck) on an M2 Mac mini for an insanely powered "Steam console" for my living room TV.

I wonder how long it's going to take for games to start generally supporting ARM. Getting Linux running well on M1/M2/etc.. seems like only half the battle for making a good gaming machine out of these.

Linux gaming has been developing in the opposite direction for a while, moving away from even x86 Linux native ports and toward running x86 Windows games under emulation.

They are running x86 Windows games under Wine. Remember that Wine stands for Wine is not an emulator.

The recursive acronym tradition of course (GNU's Not Unix, Eine Is Not Emacs etc) traditionally implied the implementation being superset or better than the thing it's replacing and referencing in the acronym.

Wine FAQ concludes

> "Wine is not just an emulator" is more accurate. Thinking of Wine as just an emulator is really forgetting about the other things it is. Wine's "emulator" is really just a binary loader that allows Windows applications to interface with the Wine API replacement.
