Proton literally doesn’t run on macOS since Metal and no Vulkan. Proton translates to Vulkan. You’d need to reimplement everything to talk to Metal. It’s not a driver issue but an API issue.

That's on Apple for not supporting Vulkan.

Wait I was wrong on the specifics, MacOS runs wine and thats what they use for their game translation software (some of Protons improvements have been upstreamed tho)
