I know that I can just use W1(N)3 but it would still be nice to have an actual Linux version because ROBLOX on W1(n)3 really sucks. It's slow and buggy. I just switched over from Windows 10 to the most popular distro that starts with a U (Won't let me say it for some reason) and am extremely happy but was pretty disappointed about this. Would it take too much work considering the small amount of Linux users out there? Technical limitations?

Support! Been Waiting for so long! Though they said they are 95% done with the port since they already ported it to UNIX like environment (macOS) They use portable C++ As well As Multiplatform QT library for Roblox Studio. It wouldn't be hard for them to port. But according to them there are not many Linux users. Steam for Linux has 25% of all games. Yes most are Indies. But there are good AAA's I don't know why they do not want to do it I doubt they will lose for the port, as more people start to switch to GNU/Linux as more games are ported!

Exactly, I mean if they're 95% of the way done why not just complete it? It doesn't have to be anything crazy just at least make it playable.

Linux port has been waiting way too long! Full support here, even if it's a bit buggy!

The truth is, no matter how much Linux users say it, Linux just isn't worth their time. They would rather focus on adding new features and improvements than catering to like 1% of the people that use Linux on their computers, most of which running Linux aren't even going to be in their target audience age range.

Well, they're already 95% there. I don't think it would take a lot to just finish a Linux port and get it out there. I get that it shouldn't be a huge priority but again they're so close. As Linux's popularity continues to grow, I don't see why you don't just go ahead and do it. I mean look at how many games on Steam have been ported to Linux.
