It’s been 5 years now since Apple moved to ARM. I think that had a big enough impact on the market to start compiling ARM binaries. Those toolchains are much more common now and I think once Steam makes the plunge, you’ll see a ton of games target it directly. As shitty as Apple’s decisions are sometimes, you definitely see them force the markets to move like when they removed the headphone jack.


Yeah I was just using proton as an example of a translation layer that made the steamdeck possible. RISC-V would be great. The Steamdeck adopting it would also push far more development and refinement in the Linux kernal for that architecture too.
