Good même but you can very much run lol on Linux. It's weird around the edges especially in the launcher but it's definitely playable.

Didn't they transition it to the same kernel-level antichest that Valorant uses? IIRC, that anticheat absolutely refuses to let you run it on Linux.

AFAIK there is a work around to run MacOS in a VM and run the Mac client which doesn't have kernel anti cheat, but meh, why bother?

Yeah, but it is a PITA to setup a MacOS VM. Even if you get it working, it will probably be unsupported in a year or 2 because of Apple Silicon. All that effort just to play league lmao

Couldn’t you just run windows in a vm at that point?

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 10 points 3 months ago

They switched the ac to use the vanguard kernel level ac so the workaround doesn't work anymore.

As far as I can tell without direct intervention through anti-cheats or other means you can run anything on linux.
