I suggested this back in 2013 on my Account TeapotHead. I had stopped since I found a ROBLOX Linux Wrapper online. All you needed to do was install WINE and run the Linux Wrapper.
Sadly that's broken now, and I can't just use plain WINE, (For obvious reasons)
Now I haven't tested the Linux wrapper since it was working. I got all this info from The ROBLOX Linux Wrapper and the ROBLOX Wikia.
So, my suggestion is a Port to Linux Desktops. |

| ROBLOX was supposed to be ported a long time ago. Sadly, I think they just don't care. It's silly and while I support, I doubt it will happen. |

They would get more users for sure.
Plus it would probably get added to the "Linux Game Database".
It's weird though. The technically already did port it to Linux, since Android is Linux based. All they would really need to do is configure it for Desktop use.
A while Ago I tried to install it on Android x86, Sadly it didn't work. |

| The only other issue with porting it from Android to Linux is some bugs and issues, since Linux is more Desktop like and uses a better interface and selection. They would need atleast a person or two to work on the Linux Compatibly and it seems they don't want to do that. Not going to happen soon. |

Speaking of Roblox Wrapper, ROBLOX seems to not like Linux users playing Roblox. I don't know why, but their recent updates seem to have broken that. I decently dualbooted windows 10 and Linux Mint and in hope I could play on Roblox because of the performance, I couldn't. Once possible fix is to use Chromium or download and install a Windows browser that supports plugins, then install roblox if you find a successful browser that works. I am too lazy to do that so good luck. |

| Due to the fact that I couldn't reinstall Windows I've recently moved my laptop to the only other OS I could think of Ubuntu. Little did I know I can't play roblox on Linux so I support |

Support. It's not that hard and it will accomplish them with lots of users, some paying = profit! And it's probably gonna be free developing the port. |

Never. The demand for ROBLOX on Linux is extremely low. We would lose money in development costs to port it. - SlingshotJunkie

Even Spotco said that it's "not worth it tbh" on twitter.
