Same. Our household has one pc from 2019 running windows, 3 on Linux, and one Mac, plus two macs from work. The only thing keeping me on windows is league of legends and stone art programs and I might get a mac to do that.

League runs on Linux easy, all you need is patched Wine: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/wine-ge-custom/releases/t...

It's easiest to use this via software like Lutris or Bottles.

I don't believe there is a workaround for Vanguard (Riot's kernel level anti-cheat) meaning there's nothing you can do on Linux.

Glad to hear some things never change

Yeah sorry not trying to get banned. I'll just get a mac.

We've been linux-only now for quite a few years, and I've been really pleased with how much we can get done without Windows (or Mac). All the Windows only games we play work great on Proton (disclaimer: we don't do any games with anti-cheat though). The only thing that I still must have Windows for is a Cricut machine that my wife has. I've got it working in a KVM VM though with USB pass through.

its pretty much peaked at this point. works with every game i've ever tried, new and old titles.

I don’t know. I tried NFS Undercover on my gtx 1650 laptop with highest settings - it couldn’t do it, lags to the point of totally unplayable. On windows it works perfectly fine. Why is that? Can somebody explain?

Unless it requires a kernel level anti cheat. I don't play those games but if someone does, it's a thing they should know.

Kernel-level anti-cheat is egregious. It's a good thing that it doesn't actually run on Linux. Nobody should be installing that garbage on their computers.

helldivers 2 has one and it still works. afaik the anti cheat developer has to explicitly disallow linux users, and at that point its not really a linux issue anymore (but still good to know)

tl;dr yes: https://brodybrooks.com/posts/2024-linuxgamedev/
