Just built my first fully dedicated Linux machine. Still keeping my old Windows desktop around purely because I play League of Legends and they use a kernel level anticheat, so it won't run on VM.
Fun fact, ever since Riot made it mandatory to install their rootkit if you want to play their games, every time I try to eject a flash drive, it says it can't eject because it's in use - even if I just plugged it in. And that's super comforting.
It's not like Riot Games is fully owned by Tencent or anything...
But if you still want to play the game, having a computer that you only use for league, with nothing else installed, is the best way to go about it
The best sandbox is made of bare metal.
They rootkit your personal device but everything in the name of addictive entertainment.
Fair, addictive entertainment, Vanguard was the only anticheat that was able to ban people using dedicated hacking cards on their PCIe slot. I know it's scary to have something like that on kernel level, but we only reached this place because cheaters are fine letting random hackers run kernel level cheats on their devices just to win.
