How do you quantify that macOS is very behind Linux for games?
Proton has a direct counterpart in Crossover (whose components are open source) and has roughly the same compatibility as Linux via Proton. It’s less convenient I grant.
Then you also have the slew of iOS games that can also be played too.
If you’re talking convenience for specifically using Steam, then yes Linux has a lead. If you’re talking pure number of games, I don’t think you can actually quantify that argument.
