What do you think about a "SteamBSD" machine ?

Steam's mainly useful to me for PCVR, and I'm thinking that might have more latency doing Proton/Wine -> Linuxlator -> FreeBSD

Otherwise if a game doesn't need Steam DRM or Proton-specific fixes, it's more fun to run SteamCMD and games through FreeBSD Wine

There's no reason not to make a SteamBSD machine. I have a lot of machines that run Steam and even the R1 Alienware Steam Machine. And it can play a large amount of my library. There are some that don't work however. Just post pictures when it's done. In my experience Nvidia and Radeon as well as Intel iGPU work well with Steam on FreeBSD. And both X11 and Wayland work well in Steam gaming on FreeBSD.

you gave me a great idea : "Don't fix the Linuxulator missing / broken syscalls if the game runs correctly with Wine. Try to run it with Wine and not with Steam Client"

Come on. Why Linux always comes first and FreeBSD should be the second choice when we talk about multimedia / video games ? Our is a nice OS,it should not be second to anyone in / for something.
