Tried to play dota 2 on Linux, it has a bad memory leak that made the whole system hang after an hour or two. Plus it seems to get worse fps on Vulcan, but I read that it might just be a bad implementation in my card (6650 xt)


I often find that Linux native games (Dota is one such) run worse than Windows games running under Proton. For many of them, you can just force it to play via Proton and go along with your day, but the Valve competitive ones don’t work that way since VAC will cry about it.


Also tried that, but I did not noticed the memory leak problem, since I only played about 1 hour. There are other minor issues about using Linux, for example, my input method does not work in the Steam chat window, but works everywhere else. Anyway, Linux is much more cleaner than Windows and it is a overall better development environment, I prefer it over Windows now.
