However, one software is aiming to make that a thing of the past by combining a multitude of emulators and application translators into a single operating system called Fedora Ashahi Remix.

Work on Asahi's Vulkan GPU driver and various translation layers is paying off. A few years ago, the idea of running PC games on a Mac, in Linux, or on Arm processors would have been laughable.
