From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I was browsing on system76's offering to see what PCs they have and noticed that they have an ARM Computer that apparently faster than the fastest Apple Mac but for cheaper (Based), but I'm wondering, how well does ARM computers game on linux with proton, it is very expensive to me atm and I can't afford it, but maybe in the future I could consider it to be my first desktop as I always been using laptops, obviously gaming isn't like the main priority as I would like a workstation to do heavy work such as blender and stuff and perhaps put gentoo on it in the future (if its supported) but I would like to game on the side when I'm winding down that's all, so can it game well?

Yes, but not many games run on ARM natively.

Box64 helps a lot with ARM compatibility, but yes less compatible than a comparable 3.2k gaming PC on x86

At least my game engine, PixelPerfectEngine, is being tested on the Raspberry Pi 400, so a stronger hardware with Linux shouldn't be an obstacle, but that engine isn't made for that kind of spectacle if you can decode its name.
