    Fortunately, using a neat tool called Whisky, I’m able to install the Windows Steam client, from which I can download and play the Portal games, because they’re proper. But that’s M1/2 only.

      Since you mentioned you’ve never used Linux, you may find it amusing that similar windows compatibility software exists for Linux and is called Wine. Whisky and Wine.

        Whisky is just a Wine wrapper. It’s still Wine under the hood.

        Yeah, Wine is a thing on Mac too. Never really dug too far into it though. Whisky is easy to use though.

      Nice, a lot of the games work out of the box with the Linux client, you just need to enable support for unsupported games for Proton on the Steam settings.
