Funny enough, this is the only game I've been playing with WINE and they wait until I go out of town for a few weeks to finally drop it on Linux.
Can't wait to get back and play this natively.

Should someone using only a window manager like i3 leave this field blank or select "not listed"?
Someone pointed out during one of the surveys that if you're using only a window manager you should go with "None" on that question. Maybe it would be a good idea to have that option here too. Maybe it could be listed as "None (or window manager only)" with parenthesis just so there is no confusion.

A new benchmark video shows Dota 2 with Vulkan performing better on Windows than Linux

Does anyone know if there's anything about the way Vulkan drivers are being developed (by NVidia in particular) that would put it behind Windows in performance?

I've always heard that they just aren't developing the OpenGL drivers as well on Linux as they do on Windows, but is that going to be a problem with Vulkan too?
As far as I know it's a much simpler API, so can we expect that at least from the driver perspective we should be at parity with Windows Vulkan drivers in the not too distant future, where most performance differences would be in the games code itself rather than drivers?

What have you been playing on Linux recently and what do you think about it?
