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

[–] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 28 points 7 months ago

14 years

I'm so sorry...

[–] jyte@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago (2 children)

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...

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.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 20 points 7 months ago

And then the headache of having LoL on your computer/life.

Brb gonna make a commit to core to break LoL.

[–] Specal@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

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

[–] DestroyMegacorps@lemmy.ml 17 points 7 months ago

Also shout out to valve for making more windows games run on linux via proton

[–] Venator@lemmy.nz 15 points 7 months ago (4 children)

And the reason a lot of games are made for windows: nvidia helps companies with testing and development support, but funnily enough they help with testing nvidia hardware, and only on Windows.

I guess they only do Windows to try to keeo development costs of the drivers down? But I'm not sure.

Oh they already activated Vanguard for League of Legends? Because before that it could run under linux.

[–] Sneptaur@pawb.social 23 points 7 months ago (1 children)

They announced it like a month ago, they could have flipped the switch by now. LoL was always a pain to get working anyway

[–] GiveOver@feddit.uk 16 points 7 months ago

Not just yet, they've been pushing it back repeatedly. Currently has a limited rollout in the Philippines. My Windows 11 PC can't run Vanguard so I'm just waiting to be kicked off any day now

[–] Shady_Shiroe@lemmy.world 20 points 7 months ago (3 children)

I remember watching Arcane and then trying the lol mobile game, DO NOT PLAY LOL IF YOU ALREADY DON'T.

I really wanna switch to Linux so bad because of windows 10 support is ending soon and windows 11 suck ass I especially hate chatgpt and edge and boring desktop environment and sloppy navigation around the os and inconsistent design and everything else really, the only reason I use computer is games and a bit of documents editing but I lose half of my fps when I played on Linux which is a big deal when all I have is a potato laptop, hopefully by the time windows 10 ended support gaming on Linux will be at least 80% of the windows performance

You might be using the wrong driver or something. Usually Linux has at least comparable framerates to Windows, if not faster.

I switched to Linux a few months ago after building a new computer as I didn't feel like paying over $100 for an OS that has ads in the start menu and spammy popups.

Almost all of my games work fine and don't have any issues with lag. The exception is GTA V which doesn't work at all and Sims 4 which works fine but EA's launcher has given me a few issues.

You shouldn't have any issues with document editing or web browsing. In my experience printing actually works better on Linux than it did for me on Windows.

If you want you could dual boot or keep an old windows system around to play games that aren't working on Linux, but in my experience, most games, especially indie games, work just fine on Linux.

OpenBSD:

  • does not run systemd

Conclusion: OpenBSD wins

[–] Hexagon@feddit.it 61 points 7 months ago (2 children)

My pocket calculator: does not run anything

Conclusion: my pocket calculator wins. Always

[–] iiGxC 32 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It runs calculations. Abacus wins again

[–] Darkenfolk@dormi.zone 15 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Haha fools behold my pet rock, it never runs anything or anywhere.

I thought all systemd haters would have died by now due to old age. At this rare chance, I have a question: How did it feel to live together with actual dinosaurs?

The game runs just fine. Vanguard is what is preventing it.

Either way GNU/Linux wins.

[–] Surp@lemmy.world 16 points 7 months ago (6 children)

I'm not sure whats worse. Lemmy or Reddit.

[–] Maven@lemmy.world 55 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

The League of Legends community on Reddit is much larger.

Lemmy is better

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 16 points 7 months ago

Check mate, Agnostics!!!!

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago

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.

[–] TheCheddarCheese@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

A large portion of Lemmy users migrated from reddit. They're both going to be similarly cancerous.

Does not have AI powered shit by default either which is another huge plus.

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).

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.

[–] lemmybereal@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

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.

[–] hubobes@sh.itjust.works 7 points 7 months ago (2 children)

What about runs League of Legends in its Windows VM

The more EA adds "in-kernel rootkits" to their games, the more powerful Linux becomes.
