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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

My pocket calculator: does not run anything

Conclusion: my pocket calculator wins. Always

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?

Systemd is good actually

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

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.

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.
