I personally think a Linux version of Roblox would be good. Although us Linux users are the minority, it is still active, as Valve has ported all of their hit games to Linux. I believe it could work, and even though it might be unstable, or might be a loss, you may gain more people to play, and thus, more people to buy Robux, BC, or other methods to gain money. I think it'll help the community.
Alternatively, you could allow Linux users to download the EXE file and use software (i.e PlayOnLinux) to play Roblox, which is an overall better option, since it takes less time. I realize that most companies do not develop for Linux since they will only make a version if they see a profit, and although Linux is generally for computer enthusiasts, some builders may be of the enthusiast type. |

I remember using Ubuntu back when I was testing it, tried playing ROBLOX on it, didn't work out so well. So support. |
|
|
ubuntu should be the first one to be supported, it's the most popular one, not to mention it has plenty of forks (Xubuntu, Kubuntu, ElementaryOS, and while a predecessor, Debian is still used). |
|
|
Who uses Linux anymore?
No support |
|
|
i do, and many people as well. the linux subreddlt has 178k subscribers. Besides, valve wouldn't port literally all their major games to linux if nobody used it.
linux=/=OS/2, or MS-DOS. |

Linux users are a minority of a minority. It would be a waste of time for Roblox developers to support a platform very little people use.
No support |
|

only because windows rules the OS market for being an unstable abomination, but got there with the power of business.
linux is objectively better, and i won't go too deep into that. people still use linux, otherwise there wouldn't be AAA game companies developing for it. The reason for linux being a minority is because the only other 2 OSes underwent major advertising, and the fact that linux is for computer enthusiasts only, since it's heavy on the terminal end of parts. |
|
|
But very rarely can you buy an OEM/Tray computer (off the shelf) that has Linux pre-installed... |
|
|
because it's the minority. besides, the extra 15 minutes to install ubuntu is so hard, right? |
|
|
The bottom line is: nobody uses Linux. If you want to play Roblox, use a Windows PC or a Mac. Stop complaining. Linux is for cheapos. |

No, Linux is for people who don't want to pay 100 dollars on an operating system, and want a stable, relatively virus free OS with infinite customization. |
|
|
Nobody cares. This isn't the place to be arguing over which OS is the best. Roblox is never coming to Linux. |

"Nobody cares."
I do.
"Roblox is never coming to Linux."
How do you know?
I support this suggestion. |
|
|
Just wait and see. Roblox will never come to Linux. |
