Viz, I would love you forever if you could get this on Linux. I've been using Ubuntu for forever, but it's been really tedious having to reboot to Windows just to play LoL. I'd love to ditch Windows entirely for Ubuntu, but I play way too much LoL!

This is an actual, relevant thread. Udyr posted it today. We really are releasing a Mac client again.

Well, now you can reboot into OSX. Problem solved. You're welcome.

Speaking personally, I would love to have the game playable on Linux as well.

Additionally compilers can generate different sets of instructions based on the same line(s) of C++ code. Finding and resolving these bugs can be very very difficult in many cases.
On my freshmen year game project, we attempted to make our game cross-platform with linux, as that was the OS of choice for a couple of the team members. I don't remember a lot of what we tried, but I do remember a lot of preprocessor blocks that, based on which compiler we were using at the time (g++ vs VS), loaded different headers and libraries.

Is this sort of the same device used in the Mac port, or do you have infinitely better ways of doing thing?

Will Mundo work on this new client?

I've heard that an Apple a day keeps the Doctor away.

For C++ (which is what the game is primarily written in), that's a necessary part of going cross platform. Another big part is wrapper headers that provide declarations that are common to all platforms, and definitions in platform specific files.
