"Why don't more people use Linux? You can even run Windows applications in WINE! Even video games! You're out of excuses, use Linux!"

I've been a die-hard Linux fan since 2009. And I'm going back to Windows.

The latest League update 100% broke compatibility with WINE and Linux. Starting a game yields absolutely nothing. Clicking the system tray icon, even less than a second after (re)launching the game, yields a 'game abandoned' screen, offering to launch into... nothingness.

Really stable shit you got here, folks. Awesome operating system. Absolutely astounding how stable and usable it is.

And don't give me that "there's paid support if you look for it" bullshit. I even offered over 1,500 people $100 to anybody who could get it working. No takers. And do you honestly think Red Hat will support League? HA!

Enjoy your no market share. Peace.
>>
hahahaha games, nobody took your offer because nobody cares.
>>
>>52624844
$100 for some neckbeard to spend 5 minutes configuring whatever horseshit? Sounds to me like the application itself matters not. League or OpenOffice, $100 is $100.

I never asked for anybody to care. I just presented the following point: Linux does not run the applications consumers demand, and so it will never attain any appreciable desktop market share.

This post reeks of /v/. Why is it here? So you can't run your shit game on another OS that it was developed for. Better blame the other OS for it and do it on 4chan. Good thinking, that should solve it.

>And don't give me that "there's paid support if you look for it" bullshit. I even offered over 1,500 people $100 to anybody who could get it working. No takers. And do you honestly think Red Hat will support League? HA!
I don't even know what this was. Are you trying to hire "some neckbeard" to fix it for you even when they have nothing to do with the developing company? That's not support. If he had anything to do with the company then it would be supported. Now it's just hacking.

He might use or know someone who uses Linux to play it and it works perfectly. It's pretty fucking unlikely that you both have the same distro, same hardware and same drivers. You might not even have the same version of WINE. If it doesn't work in your case it's not a checkmate for you to yell how it can't possibly work on anyone's machine. That's why developers need to support things, so the range gets bigger.

Linux can handle simple video games, it can even handle complex video games. There's even a chance that it runs video games that were never made for it.

If you think Linux can't handle actual workload you should educate yourself on supercomputer top list and what OS they run. Linux has practically no limits when you actually want to do something with your hardware. The only limits come from developers. You can ask developers to support Linux or create a similar game for Linux. Linux isn't handcuffing you.

This entire thread is a wonderful example of what the open source community calls "community support", where you are chastised for not searching. When you prove that you did search, you are chastised for daring to run an application not blessed personally by RMS.

Go rub your crystal ball and see how to fix that. Except that OP didn't ask for it to be fixed, it was just a blog post about video games. What was the support for, again? GPU passthrough and dual booting was still mentioned as a tip from /g/ anons. Woah, that really makes you look like a moron. Good thing you are anonymous.

It is more insidious than that. VGA passthrough is so painful and hackery, that by the time you get it running, the desire for video games will have passed.

2. Install Windows on dual boot for that one game

3. Install Windows on VM for that one game

4. Wipe everything and replace it with Windows for that one game

5. Stop playing that one game

BONUS OPTION: Ask developers if they could make a Linux version of that one game

Why are you expecting a Windows game to work on Linux, like why is something not made for Linux supposed to be guaranteed to run through Wine. Linux does what it's supposed to do, and it does it really well. If LoL is so important, then go ahead and use Windows, but don't act like it's your OS's fault that something non-native doesn't run.

Sure, Linux doesn't have the support of the game industry.

More of a circle, IMO.

>people see games are being made for windows so they use windows because more developers make for windows.

Fortunetly, Valve is trying to break that circle by introducing Steam to Linux. If they succeed, and the Linux community supports this, developers might consider building to Linux as well.

Just needs a bit of time.

Most adobe products don't work. Photoshop just barely works, but it's slow as hell, and crashes a lot. It's a nightmare to setup too. And 64 bit doesn't work.

Wine is crap except for older software or certain software which isn't really integrated with other software, or with windows itself.

Nothing professional works with wine. Case in point: Adobe CC. CS6 collection (which is getting quite old, and many artists/clients don't use it anymore) doesn't even work--apart from a very flaky photoshop 32bit.

Haiku and AROS have features that linux STILL doesn't have (that are stable).

For instance MUI/Zune as a unified system API in AROS, BeAPI in the case of haiku, multithreading gui apps as a first class feature, not a bolt-on, GUI as a first-class UI, not a bolt-on and so on and so forth. Not to mention low latency audio/video etc.

Don't even get me started on X11/Xorg/xlib and all the new bolt-ons. And wayland/compositors...yeah. A fucking joke.

Want proof? Get some crappy old G4 mac mini and run MorphOS on it. It's got features that are more than 20 years old that STILL make linux loook like a joke. A crappy G4 a 1ghz outperforms the audio/video of linux on a modern system. Not to mention all the features it has over linux as a desktop. But that would require some investigation on your parts, you linux zealot children. Get some fucking perspective.

Seriosly why? I used Foobar2k on windows and now use deadbeef. Just use clementine if you want something similar to iTunes. UE 4 and the editor was ported afaik and somehow works best on funtoo/gentoo.

Linux is garbage. G A R B A G E.
People only use it because it's free and because they can shitpost about it on this fucking cancerous board.

No good software exists of Linux. It's a timesink for neet nerds who want to circlejerk in desktop threads.

Once you grow up, you'll realize I am right. Windows is better for work.

Yes, deep down you know I'm right. Stop making excuses, don't even bother replying.

"Why don't more people use Windows? You can even run Linux applications in Cygwin! Even video games! You're out of excuses, use Windows!"

I've been a die-hard Windows fan since 2009. And I'm going back to Linux.

The latest League update 100% broke compatibility with Cygwin and Windows. Starting a game yields absolutely nothing. Clicking the system tray icon, even less than a second after (re)launching the game, yields a 'game abandoned' screen, offering to launch into... nothingness.

Really stable shit you got here, folks. Awesome operating system. Absolutely astounding how stable and usable it is.

And don't give me that "there's paid support if you look for it" bullshit. I even offered over 1,500 people $100 to anybody who could get it working. No takers. And do you honestly think Microsoft will support League? HA!

Even most Linuxfags will tell you you're stupid for doing that.

i don't know what the fuck "league" is, but this sounds like it's the league-people's fault. from what i gathered in this thread there's also a native linux variant called dota, which wikipedia tells me was there first anyway, so why not play the original (if that is indeed the case, as i said i'm completely oblivious to any of this)?

Translation

"I am a strawman! This never happened! I am making a ridiculous statement based on my preconceived notions of how Linux was going to be!"

I've had Ubuntu installed on a separate partition which I never use to feel like a 1337 h4x0r since 2009. And I've never stopped using Windows because of muh video games.

A single update gave me an excuse to remove Linux from my computer, and I'm going to justify my opinion by making a thread about how you also shouldn't use Linux based on my needs. I'm from /v/ by the way, here's my problem, please be my tech support and I'll consider gracing Linux with my presence.

Even though it's used on servers around the world, the ISS, the Darpa robotics challenge, and hollywood rendering for its stability, clearly it's unstable because of a single update that breaks software that I personally use and don't know how to fix.

And don't give me that "there's paid support if you look for it" bullshit. I don't even know how that works. No brains. And do you honestly think I know the difference between an industrial grade Operating System with experimental desktop support and a system I should actually be using for my purposes? HA!

Linux has more zero days than both osx and Windows. The idea that linux is inherently secure more than windows is a myth.

>Linux has more zero days than both osx and Windows.
Of course it does.
Within the Linux kerlen and a working GNU/Linux distribution, backdoors are considered security bugs.

On Windows and OSX, backdoors are considered privileged access and not bugs.

Therefore Linux having more 'bugs' is understandable.

If you have been using linux since 2009, why didn't you convince people to play HoN instead of leage of legends?
It had linux support from the start, clearly better graphics and gameplay if you are into dota derivatives.
Or dota 2 which also work on linux although it came out a lot later.
3/4 of the dota clones work without problems, why did you choose the one that didn't work?

My friends want to play games with me.
HoN and LoL came out around the same time. We quickly talked about which to go for and playing a game on both platforms, HoN was a clear win.
It did cost $10 dollars at the time but it was just more fun. and it worked on all machines.

Lmfao, please be trolling. Go read his reddit post about how it's set up + his follow up post on a more recent guide.
>>
>>52634568
Not OP, but I started playing LoL in beta and there were no similar games available (discounting DOTA, but the WC3 player base was waning).
When HoN finally came out, it was not free-to-play and DOTA2 was even later to the game.
Due to the above, all my habits formed around LoL.
I suppose I should check out HoN since Soraka keeps getting pushed further from healer support, but I don't play games much anymore.

Also not OP. You're making quite a few assumptions. Like many others (not here, but others), I have a day job. I'll just let that sink in for a moment. What this means is, of course I don't play for the highest competitive prizes, because I'm not a fucking South Korean autistic fucktard whose only marketable skill is League of Legends. It's just a game I play when I get off work to spend time with people whose company I enjoy, and that includes my champion.
>>
Play Heroes of Newerth, DoTA 2, or Heroes of the Storm instead.

LoL is the korean mmorpg of MOBAs and its garbage.
>>
>>52634835
I haven't played HoN in a long time but they made it free to play and the quality went down.
Back when it was free to play it didn't cost that much (I think it was $30 and went to sale really often to be $10)
