Well there you go, as i said in the first thread and this one aswell.
Its not a viable economic option for Roblox to make a port to linux distrobutions. There are not enough linux users on roblox to where they could make a decent profit. We're talking about a miniscule amount of users using a few specific operating systems that make up like 5% of linux users, and linux itself is about 8% of the consumer market share.
Its just not enough roblox players to matter.
Porting to mac was a huge thing because it affected tens of thousands of roblox players, there was a huge poll with like 30k votes for yes, but this thread has a grand total of 75 supporters. If you got all the linux users on this site it would be like maybe 1000 people. And half of them definitely dual boot.
Yall mind shuttin up about this petty OS war thing? |

@MegaFusion
I never said they were exclusive, yes I am definitely aware they are ports, but hey CS:GO, Terraria, Minecraft, TF2 and others. It's actually nice that they have linux ports.

Here is my prediction of the future
Chromebooks becomes more popular once it improves its specs.
ROBLOX decides to port it to Chromium OS(A distro).
i
This may make it possible for other linux geniuses to port it to their favourite distros.

It would still have an OS Check in it, and if you arent running on a pacman distro you're kinda screwed.
Staff said it wasnt gonna happen, im willing to agree with them, its probably not happening. |

I did it so my post would not be blocked, ignorant person.
"It would still have an OS Check in it, and if you arent running on a pacman distro you're kinda screwed."
Prove it, I want a video.

Here is my response to SlingShot's post in another thread..
Response:
Then why does Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, TF2, Dropbox, Lightworks, CS:GO, Terraria, Minecraft, Audacity etc have their linux ports. |

Good idea!
But it would be a big project to them.
And if they make it they will get more players |
|
|
^
Yeah, like 10 more players or something.
Definatly worth the cost! |

@Harry
Surprisingly many softwares support Linux
So why not bring Roblox to Linux? |
|
|
What do you mean, 'many' softwares? There is barely anything that supports it. |
|
|
Firefox
Opera
Chrome
Steam
Minecraft
Dropbox
Lightworks(One of the best video editting softwares)
Audacity.
VMWare
VirtualBox
Blender
Chromium
Apache
There are others too. It's enough to satisfy your needs.

There are also some programs which started out in Linux.
(Gnu is Not Unix) Image Manipulation Software
Linux MultiMedia Studio
There are probably some more.

I've heard of GIMP, although I wish photoshop was available in Linux as it is designed for professional use.
Never heard of the latter |
|

I think Roblox won't do it until it gains like more users. If you think about it 1000 or 10k users playing on Linux won't do it. Then Roblox loses money I'm sure they will support it when it becomes more popular?. Until then the answers are no for Roblox.
