ps4tw said: Oh yeah people have expressed an interest in it, but last I checked, the benchmarks are still woefully behind Windows, and same goes for bugs etc. Last time I played DOTA on Ubuntu, the mouse had a habit of escaping the game window....As far as I was concerned, that was a game-breaking bug. Although if Windows keeps going down the retarded route of tablet OS for desktops, I think more people will migrate over to Linux. |
With Nvidia drivers most benchmarks I've seen (in the past year) are quite close to windows. In some cases with Ubuntu even having a slight edge. AMD is another story though, and Intel is hopeless.
But yeah, what you're describing sounds like a pretty major issue for a MOBA. Fortunately I haven't encountered anything like it. Games on linux are generally more difficult to get working properky than with Windows in my experience, but even that has improved since Steam came along.
