They should try to just recompile it and publish it as alpha/beta/experimental

I would love to use Linux but I don't due to the lack of programs that are ported to it. I also do not have a big use for it compared to Windows, so I usually boot up the VM and blink my cursor, use Google, and close the VM. I would really like a port for Linux.

Support, although it's unlikely to happen due to the low amount of people who use it.

The OS doesn't determine how fast a game runs.

"They should try to just recompile it and publish it as alpha/beta/experimental"

Wouldn't work, obviously. You need to change Windows specific code into Linux/Cross-platform code.

"Linux is a piece of trash anyways..."

It's used in most supercomputers... If that tells you anything.

"What the heck is a "Linux port". It sounds like a futuristic type of toilet. :3"

Good to know you know nothing of computers. Linux is an OS, and porting is allowing a program to run on a different OS.

"The OS doesn't determine how fast a game runs."

In this case, yes, it does. Ubuntu doesn't use the same drivers that come with a Windows computer. Which means it could be more efficient.

It wouldn't be too hard to switch the Mac version to Linux considering they are very similar. I love Linux (Ubuntu in this case!). The only reason I still have my Windows Machine is because of ROBLOX.

First, let me say that not many people use Ubuntu.
HOWEVER. I am one of those users who happen to have Linux on my laptop.
I never really use it, because, well, you can't really download most things.
I would be really happy if they made a Linux port, but it is highly unlikely due to the low amount of users compared to Windows or Macintosh..

Support anyways.

Linux can be used in most computers (old to new to supercomputer)

On the other hand, I'm left-handed.

@pokemon

If roblox wants to make the game available for these platforms, they have to compile it with libraries for every single platform.

------


I think that they said something about roblox being cross-platform when they made the mac port.

On the other hand, I'm left-handed.
