I have an m1 Mac and the Rosetta 2 layer is insanely performant. There is some performance loss but I’d hardly call it significant. It’s imperceptible to me.

Which is why steam went whole hog into proton development for the steam deck. It’s brilliant strategy. Suddenly their game catalog is immediately available on the device. So users can play games they already own and will have access to hundreds of others day one.

I was intrigued but I didn’t want to invest in it because of Google’s history of killing great products.

They have some great tools for their cloud platform but at this point, I wouldn’t go all in on any new product of theirs.

Because then the devs go under and you can’t milk them for more money over time?

I’m not defending them, but why the fuck would they want to shut down developers? That just doesn’t make sense.

And AI/ML workloads. Nvidia gets lots of shit and is more expensive but you get a better ecosystem with their cards.
