League of Legends likely unplayable on Linux / Steam Deck soon due to Vanguard anti-cheat
A day we expected to come but now Riot Games have formally announced that their Vanguard kernel-level anti-cheat is coming to League of Legends, and so it will make it unplayable on Linux.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)

THE FINALS now appears to work on Steam Deck and Desktop Linux
Well this quite a surprise. THE FINALS is one of the most popular new online FPS games that uses Easy Anti-Cheat from Epic Online Services, and as of a recent updateย โ it works on Steam Deck and Desktop Linux.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
interesting, I played it yesterday and the performance was worse than on Windows. I have a Radeon 6700 XT and a Ryzen 5 3600.
I set everything to low and I couldn't get a stable enough FPS that my monitor's FreeSync premium would stabilize on 120 Hz.
this doesn't happen on Windows, there I get a smooth performance overall. I reported these issues on ProtonDB.

Rain forests are usually self-irrigating. Thatโs why they are called โrain forestsโ. If you destroy the rain forests to grow soya, palm or whatever, you stop the irrigation. Scientists have been saying this for years. Itโs happening. #BoycottPalmOil. Stop #deforestation.

Basically the same design by comitรฉ that also plagued the x consortium. Luckily many Wayland implementations are under gpl and other copyleft licences so we don't get the proprietary extensions problem x had during the Unix wars.
And maybe the collaboration is better than, the realistic alternative where every de en wm would go there separate ways. Some would go with Arcan, other with mir, others with completely incompatible Wayland implementations.

"Getting something into a Gram-negative bacterium isnโt easy. Though the sum total of its boundary layers is thinner than for a Gram-positive, the outer and inner membranes are separated by a no-manโs land known as the periplasmic space (which contains the thinner peptidoglycan wall). The arrangement makes the cell much less permeable, apart from small water channels. Antibiotics that can get into and kill Gram-negative bacteria are therefore often small molecules, around a hundredth the size of a typical protein."

"This review provides an overview of how coronaviruses control viral and host translation during different stages of infection and compares these strategies to those of other RNA viruses. We focus on how Nsp1 from ฮฒ-CoV hijacks the translation machinery and describe viral RNA features that promote viral evasion and programmed ribosomal frameshifting (PRF) in infected cells. Furthermore, we discuss other unique features of viral RNA and various stress response mechanisms triggered by coronaviral infection."

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐ง๐ฎ • • •I was checking leagueoflinux.gitlab.io/ weekly, since a recent update broke the game until they announced the anti-cheat update.
I liked to play with my friends, but there are enough other games we can play instead that do work on Linux.
I was also a huge fan of Legends on Runeterra, but that broke as well a few months ago.
Since Riot doesn't care about Linux at all, it's unlikely any Riot game will work on Linux ever again..
