I could easily run ROBLOX under Ubuntu (with Wine), yet the 'Download' button is blocked, and a note at the top says 'ROBLOX is only compatible with Windows. Is there an alternate download or is it possible to trick the website into thinking I'm running Windows?

try going to roblox.com/install/default.aspx if that doesn't work, then try downloading the installer on a friend's computer and copy it onto a flash drive

Windows users wouldn't understand but Ubuntu is 1000 times better than Windows. One thing I like to do with wine is to download firefox for windows and download applications for windows with it. Also you're going to have a lot of trouble getting roblox to run because it REQUIRES internet explorer and getting IE properly integrated into WINE will be a BIG hastle. Also I remember that by default WINE didn't used to come with DirectX preconfigured. That may have changed but you might have to install DirectX too.

Ubuntu doesn't have a Unity player or an Adobe flash player made for it YET, soon there will be one.

Currently, you need to buy Windows and use a VM (VirtualBox, Parallels) to run Roblox. It sounds really resource-intensive but it's currently the only way. I don't think Roblox is able to run on Wine.

or pirate Windows! Or dual-boot, that works better on slower Linux computers.

I would love to download Linux on my computer, but not enough support for it. While using Mac OS I've had very bad experiences with WINE and Bootcamp.

Well, the only reason no one has Ubuntu is because everyone is used to Windows. Also a lot of softwares are really only supporting Windows because not many people use Linux. Now, I bet its better, "including that viruses on Ubuntu is like 3%..."
