This feels kinda antithetical given that valve has been a driving force for Linux gaming. Its hard for people to game on a platform that isnt great for gaming to begin with. More people would play on MacOS if they could.

So I'm not an expert on game engines but the phrasing here sounds backwards. Wouldn't it need to be vulkan that supports macOS?

I’m gonna put the blame on Apple. Support Vulkan.
