Hey Mac gaming friends -- what's everyone's favorite actually working solution for running Windows (mostly Steam-based) games on arm64 Macs?
Is CrossOver the thing to do? Or PortingKit? Or some secret third thing? :D
Proton is so conveniently integrated into Steam on Linux I keep forgetting most of my games are Windows-only. ;)
