How to Get Valorant on Linux
Technically, Valorant isn't officially supported on Linux, but you're not out of luck! You can try running it through Wine, a free and open-source compatibility layer that aims to allow computer programs developed for Microsoft Windows to run on Unix-like operating systems. However, it's a bit of a hit or miss because of Valorant's anti-cheat system, Vanguard, which doesn't play nice with Wine. A more stable but slightly complex route is setting up a virtual machine with a Windows installation. This way, Vanguard runs smoothly, but you'll need a decently beefy setup to handle the overhead.

Nope, won't work. Valorant's Vanguard anti-cheat system shuts down the party before it even starts on Linux. Better off dual-booting with Windows if you're serious about it.
Got Valorant running on Linux through a VM with GPU passthrough. It's not the easiest setup and took some tinkering, but it runs smoothly! Make sure you've got the hardware for it, and be prepared for a bit of a learning curve setting it all up.
