Dota 2 - A great free to play game without a gpu on Linux
GPU(s) buzy? Only an iGPU available? And on Linux.
What game to play in such a setup?
My first recommendation is DOTA 2; available for free on steam.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/570/Dota_2/
Pros:
- works well with linux on iGPUs at low settings.
- fun and various strategies.
- lot of heroes to try.
- fast and intense gameplay.
Cons:
- games can be quite long (a little bit less than one hour (avg. 45min)).
- some players behavior may ruin a game as team coordination is important.
- needs some practice to enjoy the gameplay.
One of the best game available on Linux.

Isnt't igpu still a gpu? Also dota needs insane amount of time wasted learning each detail.
Hi, Thanks for your reply.
I agree with you that an iGPU is a gpu although it can't be compared to a dedicate one. For example I run it with an i5 7400 and I get over 65fps constantly while a game like Counter Strike source can't be played comfortably.
Then if you are referring to the builds and items it's true that at first it can be a little confusing. However I find this quite interesting how the hero can be personalized and customized to suit your game play.
Do you have other game recommendation?
It is not just items or builds, pulling staking creep blocking roaming warding etc huge amount of information that you need to know because it is important, and most of the time if you go for the build for your gamy play you will get some very bad comments from teammates. No idea what else you can play on igpu maybe minetest or some old games like doom.
Of course it's not an arcade game ;). I love those complex games.
What ever your game choice: Have fun!
