how is "to play video games on a M1 Mac, simply: install linux" real. like how is that real at all

@halcy can you not play games thru steam and rosetta normally on a m1 mac?

@pup_hime @halcy rosetta doesn't adapt directx at all, for example (you need to stack dxvk and moltenvk I think)

@noiob @halcy ya but you can play games that you could play on a regular mac previously right

@pup_hime @halcy if they're 64 bits yeah, they should still work fine
