I am a Linux freak but Ubuntu is pretty simple but I don't know if I can install League or not and before I install it on my sons PC I built I need to know if I can install it. Please feel free to explain how, if you know.
If I remember correctly, way back when, you have to install it in a VM running Windows.
It largely depends on the hardware. It works very well with modern integrated Intel graphics, but it's possible you'll run into bugs or performance issues with AMD or Nvidia graphics.
As for installing, you'll probably want to add this repository for wine-staging: https://github.com/wine-compholio/wine-staging/wiki/Installation#-ubuntulinux-mint
Then copy an existing LoL folder over to Ubuntu or run the official installer.
Lastly, you need to run a third-party tool once: https://bitbucket.org/Xargoth/tuxlol/wiki/Home It removes the mipmaps from all icons. Without it, the League client crashes when opening the item shop.
You can, but you have to run it through emulators which is HORRIBLE and ANNOYING and SLOW and CLUNKY and NOT USER FRIENDLY. Trust me, I've tried. It's gross.
