Their translation layer is basically a rip of Proton. Obviously this isn’t going to replace anyone’s Desktop or gaming laptop. But it’s nice to see Mac users are at least being thrown a bone.
Of CodeWeavers' Wine which I already mentioned. Proton is more than just Wine but Apple's implementation does not use the Vulkan translation but their own Metal wrapper.
