I wish Valve improved their Steam app on macOS. On my MacBook with M1 Pro and 32GB of RAM it doesn't feel smooth. It runs like a poorly optimized Electron app.
Not sure how Steam is developed but it is basically the OG Electron app. They’ve been bundling the entirety Chromium since they launched on macOS in 2010, predating actual Electron by at least 3 years.
I wouldn't be looking forward to this happening. Valve will not support CS2 _at all_ for macOS [0] because there are not enough players for CS2 on macOS. While it likely doesn't translate to the whole of Steam userbase for other games, I guess it is their general conclusion that macOS is not a first-class citizen for Steam.
it does so on windows 11 with a brand new Radeon 7000whatever and 32G RAM and SSD and ... you know, hardware, that they know about, due to the hardware survey they conduct yearly.
I have no idea how they even develop it. Are they all sedated?
Maybe it's just one more of the unforseen consequences of Valve time.
