I've been encountering this bug on almost every game I play, where after an hour or so the game will lag uncontrollably. The only solution I've seen is to add LD_PRELOAD="" in the launch parameters, but with this you also lose Steam Input, the Overlay and Steam Recording.
There doesn't seem to be any other workarounds so I'm wondering... Is EVERYONE using this parameter, or does it not occur at all on some distros?
I'd love to move fully over to Linux but I use Steam Recording a lot and have a script that runs on my network storage every night to organize them into folders and encode them to mp4, and it'd be a shame to lose that.
