Can I play Valorant on Linux?
Nah, you can't officially play Valorant on Linux because it's a Windows-exclusive game. Riot Games developed it strictly for Windows. There might be workarounds with virtual machines or compatibility layers like Wine, but expect a rough ride with potential security issues and performance hiccups. Riot's anti-cheat software doesn't play nice with non-Windows OS.

I tried running Valorant on my Linux system using Wine, and let's just say it was an adventure. Got it working after some tweaks, but it wasn't perfect. Performance issues and the fear of getting banned for running it on an unsupported OS made me switch back to Windows. Just save yourself the headache.
Valorant on Linux? Good luck with that. Stick to Windows if you wanna play without turning your gaming session into a tech support marathon.
Nope, Valorant and Linux are like oil and water – they just don't mix. The game's anti-cheat software, Vanguard, needs Windows to run.
