I love everything about League of Legends except for actually playing League of Legends.

The lore, character design and art style, Riot's community engagement and approach to balance - all of it top tier.

But spending 40 minutes losing a game because your top lane got washed 0 and 6 and your shako support just keeps doing the worm in duo fucking sucks.

The community is toxic partly because the game design is infuriating. There's like a thousand ways to lose - the draft, vision control, last hits on minions, objectives, items, team mates, technical skill, etc.

It all compounds into a really shitty, rage inducing, experience.

At this point, I'm just waiting for 2XKO to drop.

By running your applications in Flatpaks, you're isolating them from the rest of your system. Essentially, Flatpaks save you from ruining your system because you installed 10 different copies of the wrong graphics drivers, while following random guides on the internet.

Running games in flatpaks ensures you're using the latest drivers, so you dont really have to worry about it. It makes things SO much easier to manage from a linux gaming perspective.

That said, Flatpaks introduce a different kind of complexity to your system and there might be a bit of a learning curve before you feel confident troubleshooting any issues that come up, especially if you have no experience working in containerized environments.

Personally, I'm coming up on a year of daily gaming in Flatpaks and I've never had any issues.

I was in your boat a few years ago. I was familiar with a few linux distros because of my job but I was hesitant to switch because the games I was playing didnt have native linux support. Eventually, I started daily driving Ubuntu and after some minor tinkering with steam and lutris, I could play any game I wanted without any issues.

That said, while I think Ubuntu is a great distro over all, there's a part of me that worries that its only a matter of time before it goes to shit... So within the last year, I made the switch to Debian 12 and I flatpak'd everything. It was seriously one of the best decisions I've ever made in the context of personal computing. Seriously, its fucking seamless. Fuck windows 4 lyfe. All my homies hate windows.

Debian 12 and flatpak everything. I recently made the switch from Ubuntu and I couldn't be happier.

Nah you're right. I totally forgot how good OW1 was in terms of community. OW league was good to. Damn, they really fucked that up. I think I blocked out how good it was because of how poorly it turned out. We'll see if Microsoft can turn it around.

I love this. I hope the devs get the financial support they need. If not, I hope they take what they learned and make a clone like Dota did. HotS was the only bright spot in the last 16 years of AB horseshittery, imo.

Title pretty much says it all. I've been using ubuntu as my daily driver for the last 5 years or so and honestly, I've had a wonderful experience with it.

That said, with the way things are going, I feel like its only a matter of time before Canonical pulls the rug out so I'd like to at least get my feet wet with something other than Ubuntu and Debian seems like the logical choice.

I mainly use my machines for gaming, self hosting, programming, and weird networking projects/automation testing.

I've heard gaming on debian isnt as 'out of the box' as it is with Ubuntu. So I'm hoping somone with more experience can share some tips on what I should be looking out for or point me to some good guides. Thanks yall.

EDIT: I fucking love this community. Thank you all for your replies. I appreciate you taking the time to help me out.
