Now, I know a lot of people out there saying that Pop is not the only one for gaming — YES, there are a few more such as Ubuntu, Antergos, Fedora, Manjaro, Linux Mint and etc. but today’s article is a continuity of the last article that exposed the availability of proprietary driver out of the box which lead to this article about gaming on this distro. For newcomers today, there are some dark history of installing nVidia proprietary driver, after the successful installation of that particular Linux distro. That is the main reason why, a built-in proprietary driver out of the box crucial to some users.

I’ve seen most of people doing the test for gaming on Linux but just playing a few like, Borderland 2, Call of Duty, StarCraft II and some other titles out there but none ever tried Dota 2 yet as far as today.

The reason why I picked Dota 2 today because it is an online multiplayer game (MMORPG), cooperative, intense and precision. At least that is what I feel playing it. As far as I can tell from my experience playing this game previously on Windows, timing, frame per second, and of course Internet ping are matters. Those are the factors that lead me to make this tryout to see if it’s worth to jump away from Windows, to Linux.

Brief from past experience.
