How are they at running all of the games I own on Steam?
The exact same underlying software (Wine) that lets you run all of your windows games on Linux using Proton also works on MacOS using Crossover.
I haven't found anything in my steam library that Crossover (wine with a nice GUI) hasn't handled on my Mac yet. I'm sure a bad game exists, but for most games it is seamless.
I tend not to have unrealistic expectations like running AAA titles at high framerates on a mid-tier laptop, and tend to go for indy games, but the games I have run work great.
Native game selection is - in fact - pretty limited, but who cares if it is being run with a compatibility layer if it plays well.
It absolutely do runs worse than on Linux, it's not equivalent. Do not bother, especially not with newer games.
meh, there's gotta be a specific Mac port, and there's not much love put into keeping those working when Apple makes breaking changes like "killing 32-bit addressing" or "switching cpu architectures".
About the same as Linux, if you use Crossover. Which is the functional equivalent to Wine/Proton.
