Yeah it has been for a while. The steam deck runs Linux out of the box.

Valve and open source devs have put a lot of effort over the years on projects like Photon which is a translation layer for Windows games.

Proton, not Photon. ;-) Here is a list with games and their support status: https://www.protondb.com/

The question was "better on Linux on a Mac", meaning specifically Asahi Linux.

The correct answer is no, not yet anyway.

Linux running on x86 with proton is still the bee's knees for most games though.

> on a Mac

Right. It sounds like the Asahi devs have implemented APIs which aren’t available under stock MacOS.

Back when I was actively developing for Freespace, we had a Linux port that had a better framerate than Windows (the game’s original platform).

Better on Linux on mac (as compared to macos) maybe?

Afaik they are emulating, which you can do on macOS too. Still great that it works with Linux
