Will Roblox ever support Linux systems and distributions (Such as Ubuntu)? I heard this is a work-in-progress with a few bugs. |

Last we've heard they don't want to bother putting so much effort to please a very small fanbase.
just use wine for now. |

not the kind of people who play roblox though.
roblox's ideal age group generally doesn't use linux flavors, so they're not bothering.
kinda a high risk low reward proposition. |

| The Linux fanbase in ROBLOX is kinda small, but it's still a good idea to do because it is rapidly expanding in size. |

| Sure, Linux may be used less than Windows or Mac, but that doesn't mean there's plenty of people who play or want to play Roblox on Linux. |

Use wine, or better yet use windows. Linux isn't very user friendly anyways, just dual boot. |

| You can download it. It's in early beats, I tend to use game streaming. |

"Sure, Linux may be used less than Windows or Mac, but that doesn't mean there's plenty of people who play or want to play Roblox on Linux."
I'm pretty sure there are more users waiting to play on android than on Linux.
You can easily say the linux community is expanding since a growth of 3,000>6,000 is a 100% growth, but that's still not that much in the grand scheme of things.
also, use windows isn't an actual argument chtr, lol. once you get used to an OS it's hard to swap. |

| My point is that it's not worth roblox's time to port linux. |

| I think we'd love to be on as many OS as possible. Right now, I think we're focusing on Android, however in the future anything is possible. |

| I actually want them to support Linux. I told my best friend about ROBLOX. And when they played, it didn't work well. That's because ROBLOX should support Linux. |

| The only reason I would like to see them support linux is that it old possible work on steamOS then. |
