This is super cool.

So, wait, does this mean that gaming is better on Linux, on a Mac?

I've been gaming on Linux since Warcraft 3 days.

Wine is wonderful and with Valve's help it only got better.

But why would gaming on a mac be better? Maybe one day, but for now:

FTA: "While many games are playable, newer AAA titles don’t hit 60fps yet."

You’re lucky to get 60fps playing a fairly undemanding game on MacOS, even on hardware that is otherwise a dream.

For example, Baldur’s Gate 3 is barely playable on my M3 MacBook Pro at well below native resolution with all settings turned down. It’s a brilliant game but hardly cutting edge graphically.

I play BG3 on my M1 at 4K just fine…
