I think roblox should add support for the Linux platform. Although i don't use it as my main os, it would be good for roblox and for the end user.

The reason it would be good for roblox itself is because, well, it's a entire os family! More people will sign up, and thus, roblox would get more money.

And for the end user?

Well, that's pretty simple to explain. You could probably guess.

Roblox on Linux would be a great thing. 😊

(I actually use Linux on vs for playing around, and I don't really use it as a secondary at the moment.)

I also think that it would be a good idea for roblox to start with stuff like ubuntu.
And then work their way to less popular ones like arch or gentoo.

Sorry, I forgot to put this part in the
original post. 😅

Thats not true. Windows 95 (or any win 9x os) is not used anymore. Although, a good amount of people use Linux.

Linux is not outdated, in fact, newer versions of certain distros (such as ubuntu), release quicker compared to windows.

And if it weren't for Linux, we probably would not have the internet as we do today. :)

(And please, don't call me a fan boy, cause i like Linux, but i'm not a fan boy of it.)

He's not saying the Linux is old. You need to read. He's saying it's nowhere near popular enough to where Roblox will benefit from it.

Nobody uses Linux on a day-to-day basis and most Linux computers are cheap and not fast enough for graphics processing. Roblox on Linux would be a death wish. Most people use Windows and Mac, so that's what Roblox supports.

Don't turn this into a specs war.

No support

"most Linux computers are cheap"

that's why people would use it- they don't need to waste money on w8.1 or mac

Roblox probably doesn't support Linux because Linux computers are crappy and can't handle anything more sophisticated than web browsing.

Ok, I understand what your saying. I do think people use it as a day to day os, and Linux does not run on old PCs ether.

You may have heard of Steam boxes, coming out some time in the feature, and they run Steam OS right? STEAM OS IS BASED OF DEBIAN.

Well, I guess the community thinks its a bad idea, but ill see if i have more good replies.

Also, Linux powers most websites, just saying. :)

I use windows by the way.

And please don't say things like "You could just use Wine! (The software, not the beverage)" Because not everyone uses it. (I fell uncomfortable with it.)

This

I'm running linux on a desktop with a 4.0 GHz, Quad-Core CPU.

Pretty sure that's good enough to run Roblox.

It wouldn't be too difficult to optimize roblox for linux, anyways.

And if Ubuntu supports it, chances are Debian, Arch, Suse, etc would be able to support it easily as well

--

I think many people actually buy a PC and install Linux and use it as their main OS.

I support the idea, though.

Thanks for the feedback guys ^.^

I made a small spelling mistake on the first post.

I meant to say vms. (Virtualbox ftw)

Also, All distros are diffrent. Although ubuntu and debian share some DNA.

You guys are ridiculous I have a buttload of ram/memory on my custom machine, and Ubuntu runs waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay faster than any microsuck machine also Linux is popular, if it wasn't popular this thread wouldn't even exist.
If you want an OS that isn't popular check FreeDoS... yes opensource DoS that has a community of people who actually make DoS useful. (4 al ur #swag socialmedeya neds.)
