Seriously, it's available for the 100 people who play on Xbox, but not for the thousands of people on Linux?

Do I really have to swap out my OS just to play this again? I just read an article stating that ROBLOX's compatibility was around 95%, that article must have been made years ago too.

Hey there, I do know they removed support for Mac OS X 10 and under and 11 up is still supported, I think they will support Linux soon too, but it feels rare.

I think running Ubuntu and having roblox isnt a problem but due to linux not being really popular this often, it may be impossible to support them all.

This thread was made 1 year ago and no change, unfortunately.

Some people still think that Linux is just for old crappy computers, but it isn't true at all.

The only linux roblox is available is Android, which is linux-based OS. But, for those who play on PC/Desktop it doesn't work even if you emulate it.

I already got a new laptop a week or so after when I got my paycheck. I really loved my toshiba, it just got corrupted when it was updating, It usually took like 30 mins but it was taking like 3 hours so I shut it down (really stupid.) And just would boot me to configuration, whenever I tried to get into windows it would just restart. Best Buy wanted me to buy windows 10 os for like 150 bucks... Lmao, ended up just getting a new one for 300 which was on sale and saving that for backup and what not. I was just butthurt cause I couldn't play for a weeks. I really never expected ROBLOX to give a damn about Linux users.

I've stopped for a period to use Windows because I've had many problems with Windows Update on Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 then I upgraded my computer and moved to Windows 10 which is okay but I still prefer Linux for some reason. I don't hate Windows 10, but I still prefer to use Linux as my main OS. Unfortunately, if I do it I won't be able to play roblox, even if I emulate it using W/NE, Playonlinux, Crossover, ##### etc.
In Linux the updates are very easy and quickly, no problem to wait a long period to update your OS.
Windows 10 also is consuming a lot of my internet connection (they don't care if you have a limited internet), they upload and download a lot of things, I've discovered about 10k websites that redirects to Microsoft. It's a real problem if you want privacy.

@grandetogo They deprecated support for Mac OS X 10.6 - there is no such thing as a Mac OS 11.

@OP Tried dual-booting yet?
