    Have you used Steam on ARM Macs? Rosetta 2 is a dynamic recompiler which does badly when emulating things that recompile dynamically themselves, like web browsers, which Steam is essentially. Scrolling was choppy, power efficiency was bad. M1 and newer chips brute forced their way through this because they’re so fast but Steam performance was embarrassing.
