Okay you nerds definitely have a point on this one
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think you can run LoL on Linux
Im still waiting on them deploying it. I have a windows installation that does not boot using uefi, and therefor can not run vanguard. So when they deploy it its finally bye bye league after 14 years haha
14 years
I’m so sorry…
Holly shit, after looking things up it’s even worse than I thought…
Playing Valorant will need to enable TPM 2.0 and secure boot under windows 11 OS, you have to check that your motherboard is support TPM 2.0 system. (NOTE: If your system unable to support TPM2. 0, the only way that you can play Valorant is change your windows to older version as windows 10.)
Damn, Riot effectively turning PC into console…
Yup!
Great*
Depending on how you look at it, that is what he said
In German, “gross” = “great”
It’s not rolled out yet so currently still yes you can run n play it on Linux
I will never understand why so many people were just okay accepting all this invasive bullshit like Vanguard. There’s so many games I just can’t even consider because I refuse to implicitly tell game companies their unchecked behavior like this is acceptable.
These are fucking video games; there is no goddamn reason a glorified toy should have root or kernel-level access. It’s wild to me the amount people who will accept anything, no questions asked.
I’m sure Hell Divers is fun, but it ain’t worth it to me to find out.
I accept it if it means removing most cheaters from the game. Most people do.
Cheating sucks but a- people are still cheating in these games, b- there are just as effective anti-cheat strategies that don’t require invasive access, c- cheating in a literal GAME is not enough of a real world issue to sacrifice real world privacy
Yes, there are versions of WINE and Proton that are specific to running LoL, but it’s still somewhat of a headache to get running.
And then the headache of having LoL on your computer/life.
Brb gonna make a commit to core to break LoL.
Used to be able to before vanguard. When I used SolusOS as my main OS it used to run better than on windows… Apart from the client but that didn’t matter too much
Crap games apart (LOL is a good name for it), the only reason because Windows is better for games is that most games in the market are Windows only, no other reasons. But this is currently changing with more and more games also for Linux. Worst gaming platform is still Apple.
Anyway, at least
Also shout out to valve for making more windows games run on linux via proton
If I ever get off my ass and make that game I am going to rub my nipples and respond every time a mac user sends in a support ticket asking why their game isn’t working with “because it’s a mac”
The game runs just fine. Vanguard is what is preventing it.
Either way GNU/Linux wins.
I remember watching Arcane and then trying the lol mobile game, DO NOT PLAY LOL IF YOU ALREADY DON’T.
Do play Legends of Runeterra. It’s a charming, friendly and easy to pickup collectible card game set in the world of LoL with ZERO abusive practices. Enjoy PvP/Ranked ladder while you can, because the lack of dark patterns means it made less money than they expected, so some features were shelved and more things may be removed in the future.
i played a match and i don’t get it, that game is just boring.
how do people actually play this?
i have colleagues who gush over how they want everyone else to play it.
it’s just so… stale
I’m not sure whats worse. Lemmy or Reddit.
The League of Legends community on Reddit is much larger.
Lemmy is better
There are times I’d go with Reddit (or at least pre-exodus Reddit; I haven’t been back there much since the APIpocalypse,) particularly when politics are discussed, but posts like this show where Lemmy shines.
A large portion of Lemmy users migrated from reddit. They’re both going to be similarly cancerous.
There is a selection bias in who chooses to migrate, so this isn’t necessarily true
Yes
Lemmy is. It’s average user is just as worthless, but there are fewer niche communities.
League is cancer. This meme is accurate.
Does not have AI powered shit by default either which is another huge plus.
Jesus Christ being painted in the sand on a beach.
Anyway, almost the only game I play in spare times since years, is The Dark Mod, it’s free and works fine in Linux, Windows and even in Mac (using PlayonMac).
This looks cool as hell. Thanks for sharing
It is, without a doubt one of the best free games you can find, apart with a friendly community for the support and a complete Wiki with step by step tutorials for creating own missions. A game to enjoy for many years. Walkthroughs of all missions in YT in the case if you get stuck in a mission.
What about runs League of Legends in its Windows VM
Looking at it, I remembered the time when the only source of income I had was LoL
This is exactly the reason I am going to install linux on my main Desktop, crazy coincidence of this meme. The temptation to play that addicting game is sometimes hard to resist. In linux I am more inclined to spend my time on stuff I learn from.
I once visited a friend’s house and when I saw their computer’s desktop I dragged LoL to the trash bin and they didn’t even try to stop me.
Linux>Windows Dota>LoL Conclusion: Linux+Dota=GG
One of my best friends I met playing LoL so I don’t know if regret would be the word, but… Going to Linux exclusively was one of the easiest ways to break the habit.
