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

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.

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

It's literally one click on Lutris.

Might be one click to install it, but it doesn't immediately start working after that, at least according to what I've seen. WINE and Proton work well in general, but I've seen problems when it comes to LoL specifically.

Not in my experience. Some patch are easier than other I guess.

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
