I use Ubuntu, and I recently learned about how there is Mac support in beta, would it be very hard to port over to Linux? I was just wondering, as Mac OSX uses the X11 Windowing system, like 99% of Linux PCs. Wine is not working for me, the closest I can get is local editing, and Wine simply is not enough to run Roblox. (Virtual Machine is not an option)

I know, but about 5% of the computer market runs Linux-type PCs.

Those 5% are not younger kids, they are usually professional programmers that actually have a job in computers already.

Yeah.... But it would be nice for the few of us "kids" who aren't computer programmers and can't compile something without a source.... I would use windows, but my computer doesn't seem to like windows and bluescreens on installation.

Quit it. It's not going to happen. Obviously, the Roblox staff has already thought of this. If they want to do it, it will be done.

I've talked with Sorcus and he seems really stable on his decision. I would love to have Roblox on Linux too, though.

Guys, in the end, the Linux isn't really meant for gaming. Why? No support. Nobody makes games that can run on it. It's mainly used for office work, and even then people have to learn how to use it just to do that.

Support. Puppy linux is the weirdest linux I've seen so far. Ubuntu being the best.
