Indeed yes, I did mention SteamOS (I think that was the original name). Steam hasn't always supported Linux, it was years after it's release (maybe ten?) before they did from what I remember.
Yes it's good, but my part of the discussion is highlighting they aren't doing it out of the goodness of their hearts, otherwise there would be more evidence of it including lower fees, no DRM and and whatnot.
How is Dota on Linux? It's, well, a bit crap on Mac as the menu bar gets in the way (tried fiddling with settings but doesn't seem possible to fix it) and other stuff.
Well, my pc could barely run in in windows so the performance was basically the same haha. I tried it some years later and it ran perfectly.
It's very much an undemanding game so likely yours is kinda potato aha
Eh, depends. The laptop was not that good by any means, sure, but dota has always been the most demanding moba out of the competition, by far (league/hots). But yeah, then I got a proper desktop and it ran flawlessly ever since.
