I usually just check protondb. It‘ll tell you everything you need to know

A lot of games that that don’t work on steamdeck because they need more performance still work perfectly well with proton on a decent gaming rig

Framework stepping into the ARM market would be great. While I personally like Apple’s hardware, I love Frameworks philosophy.

I have to disagree on one point of your Asahi assessment though: While the old lead dev has stepped down, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The remaining team has since restructured and is focusing heavily on reducing those maintenance difficulties, besides working on support beyond M2.

Have you looked at an M1 or M2 MacBook with Fedora Asahi Remix (or the Asahi Linux project in general)?
