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)

which, you know, has been proven to empower malware (as seen with genshin impact).

My guess is that they would rather support Mac over Linux because Mac has more whales. (This is just a theory, according to some comment in reddit Linux had more players than Mac)
