I used to play League on elementary OS 4. Anyone remember that distro? Anyway. I've tried countless distros and I've noticed something: the hard parts are never about the distro. Let me tell you a story. Just two weeks ago I was invited to a game of L4D2. It being a Valve game, I was extremely confident it would run. Coincidentally, a few days later, [Linus from LTT also played L4D2 on Linux and had the exact same issue](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCF2bcqCkYs). Guess what? It did not run. The OpenGL port had some sort of bug that was crashing the game. And me being me, I thought maybe it was related to running mesa-git, so I tried downgrading. Nope. Clear cache? Nope. Try Proton? It works! Oh, I can't join a multiplayer game though... Hm. -I ended up playing on my Deck that night. Seeing it work there was weird, so the next day I checked ProtonDB. +I ended up playing on my Deck that night.

Software is hard. Things go bad. But has anyone noticed? **This wasn't a distro issue. It was an application issue.** -- cgit v1.2.3
