Yeah. They made so much money in their java enterprise and they just want to get a hold in the cloud market and not get irrelevant. Their always free their is generous compared to all other clouds.

but who know, how long this will stay...

I did notice the sluggishness as well. but I didn't mind much

[–] swnt@feddit.de 1 points 11 months ago

Ah, okay. Yes, I can understand that now

Why condolences?

I don't feel like I'm addicted to it I just play Aram a few times a week - and I have a plentiful life outside of LoL

Yeah, I'm using both all the time. Funny that you mention the teams Problems. My camera 9nly works ok Linux Teams but not on Windows 😂

I'm already using libre office all the time - but aside from gaming I heard that office is the only reason to still use windows. But I just need any document editor - not ms office - so that's a no brainer for me But for some people at work when MS documents are sent via email and edited - then sometim3s it just doesn't cut it.

 

I've been playing LoL since a long time - practically since my friends etc. started it in 2009. I was on windows back then and moved slowly and slowly to Linux via dual boot. These days I only used windows for gaming and Linux (Ubuntu) for everything else.

While back then, stuff like FLOSS and co. wasn't that important to me - these days I appreciate it much more - and I like to have a computer which just doesn't annoy me with bloat and doesn't do stuff I don't want it to do.

After hearing about the steam deck stuff recently I gave gaming on Linux a try. I just follow the few simple steps outlined in online guides. It was pretty easy to install steam and league of legends. I even played a few very old games on steam - games which I didn't play all the time because I wouldn't boot up windows just for them.

I did decrease the LoL graphics a bit - as my laptop is a bit older. But seriously... League of Legends was working! It was working flawlessly! 🤩 I didn't see any crashes or stuff like that. I played a few games and realised, that I really didn't need to go back to windows anymore.

I'm migrating to a new laptop with better specs soon - and It'll be my first laptop in 1.5 decades that will not have dual boot. 😇 If I ever need windows again I'll either use the dual boot on my old laptop or simply run a VM for such rare cases. But even things like MS Teams work in the browser, so no need for Windows unless it's MS Office - which I never needed yet.

Just wanted to share my recent personal experience 😃

it's it though?

in our Fediverse bubble yes.

but so many average people just don't care.

Wow, you nearly described the same experiences I had just recently - when I installed steam and a few games for the first time on Linux. And I was also like "Oh, what? It actually works!!"

I immediately shrunk my windows on dual boot and will likely uninstall it completely in near future. No need for bloated windows anymore

Exactly!

Not to mention, that this new oxygen was also poisonous to these bacteria themselves as well!
