Performance on Linux is bad at the moment, unless you have killer specs. I tried on Linux Mint with the foll config : Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3 GHz, 4 GB DDR3 RAM and ATi Radeon HD4850, still framerates about 20-30 FPS.

I hope the performance would improve once the game gets ported to Source 2.

We'll you don't need high end I think ,5xxx cards and above still hasofficiall driver support ,and others have quoted playable framerates with them,whilist with Nvidia cards even older have official supports ,hence better gameplay
What kernel and driver you used ,there has been remarkable improvement in performance in open source ,which was one of the reason which prompted me to do thisb

Man ,I miss the game so much,but was conciently staying away :p,I'm just curious does anyone here run dota on Linux , just out of madness ,im gonna try to run it on a system with spec as follows , Pentium dual core ,1gb ram, 4670HD, there are so much,handicaps here but the challenge is interesting ,
Installed Manjaro openbox, sorting out the libs to start steam now,
So anyone with a combo of Arch + dota 2+ open source amd drivers here ? Or any Linux for that matter ,would love to know their experience

I think enemy(Most probably Razor ) took the bottle. Last time I saw it was near T3 tower. But sad he left, even after I bought him a bottle.

I crashed and burned with an Optimus enabled laptop on all distros, including the so called built for steam Ubuntu and SteamOS itself.
I crashed, burned and destroyed my xserver trying to do that on an AMD based laptop with switchable graphics running Ubuntu and SteamOS.

I burned an old gt520 literally, by using thrid party drivers (manual install) on a Mint system. I've done every single possible way of making Dota 2 run on systems with linux OSes. So far, only SteamOS runs it with close to 22fps on my laptop (I have no clue whether it uses the nvidia gpu or my intel igpu). Debian fails, Mint fails, Ubuntu installs steam without any efforts but the game is ultra laggy, Arch fails, hell I even tried running it on Suse and Elementary, it fails.

Why didn't u guys let me and KFC troll that kid? :( When I heard his voice, I was like man this will be fun. But u guys were like jumping around with the bottle thingy.

And guys when playing lobby, have fun. Don't be retarded like that kid. You don't get **** to play lobby, it's only for fun and maybe try new heroes. Not to prove ur e-peen size or be a proz. Just calm down and have fun.

What's your spec? Perhaps it can be improved ,nvidia cards generally have good performance with dota and with proprietary drivers

I can only guess xD
[MENTION=107549]kamikaz[/MENTION], laptop has a GT 740m and i3-3227U while the PC I used had a GT 630 810MHz and FX-6300, both with 4gb of ram on system resolution 1366x768. I know you're just helping out but trust me when I say this: "ALL METHODS". That includes building the drivers from source (bumble bee whatnot), custom and official drivers installed via package and manual with and without Optimus enabled. The best fps count I got was on SteamOS (a debian spinoff?) but the loading time was forever. I *think* Ubuntu should play along well now because at this point I wasn't sure what I had done and not.
This probably is a bummer, but AMD lacks the punch in linux gaming/graphics and Nvidia is consistently coherent so... Of all the things, you want it on Arch :p
(btw, all you need to do is copy over the files from windows version onto the linux from the steamapps/common folder and let the client verify/update it there's no need to re download stuff)

[MENTION=22610]hsr[/MENTION] are you sure, just copy ...oh damn !!! That would have meant I needed only some 2 more GB,almosr downloaded 1gb @60kbps
And well yeah ,I have been trawling through subreddits ,forums etc thought I might be helpful,I'm using manjaro Linux ,openbox ,setting it up is a breeze and its pretty stable to ,updates don't easily break
Regarding AMD and nvidia well yeah ,Nvidia has proprietary support for even very old cards but AmD supports open source more ,now you must be familiar with all these ,so I'm leaving it at that :)

[MENTION=22610]hsr[/MENTION] I'm gonna need a Lil help there I copied everything from steamapps of windows to Linux , which had the common folder and downloading folder (I have only Dota installed, and the windows one showed I needed around 2gb update ),but Linux version keeps starting from the beginning !!, so what am I supposed to do now ? Comple the update using windows and then use steam backup and restore ,or is there any way to force steam to verify copied files ?

Copying over uncompleted downloads will only trigger re-downloads I think, you need fully downloaded copies to do that. Using steam backup -> restore will work as well.
This is all if you're on i386/x86 linux. Steam will fail miserably on 64bit.
