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?

    It should be able to run games that support ARM. That means you are pretty much limited to open source games. The CPU clock speed is fairly low, so don’t expect great performance. These systems are intended for heavily multithreaded workloads.
