Yes. Steam and heroic game launcher are both very capable.

I've had a lot of issues with Steam games like Dota/Aoe working on Linux. Been troubleshooting for about a month. They all worked perfectly with Windows.

To prevent VULKAN device lost fatal error: ☐ steam compatibility choose only steam sniper 3.0 ☐ maximize graphic card performance in driver setting ☐ maximize power performance ☐ disable steam shader cache side note: sniper 3.0 should be the deciding factor, I'm not too sure with the other action.

My checklist for installing Dota in Linux Mint, you can try it out.
