  Otoh, Roblox is evil and you could just use the switch to Linux to be like, “oh no, I guess we can’t have Roblox anymore!”

    My home is more of a democracy than a dictatorship. I could of course forbid them from playing, impose whatever sanctions, But they have fun doing it and they have a bunch of real life friends that join them.

      Oh, now you’ve done it, you’ve pissed off the tankies.

        What is a tanky? Only heard that after switching to Lemmy. What’s the origin?

      Any democracy can be replaced with a dictatorship with well placed CIA intervention.

        It’s not like they have a lot of election choices, I’ve kind of got a one-party system going on. They can vote for me or they can vote for my wife but they’re getting the same thing either way.

        The problem is, there eventually going to determine what kind of nursing home I go to. If Roblox buys me chicken pot pie Thursday I’ll considerit a win

  Run a Windows VM in <insertYourDistroHere> and run Roblox?

    They’re not on the finest of boxes and a lot of the Roblox games actually need some decent resources.

    When we get closer to the drop dead date I may give it a shot. I’m kind of hoping Roblox will get around too not being pig-headed about it.

      You can definitely give a VM enough power through KVM and qemu to run Roblox. You can even try your hand at single gpu passthrough if it’s worth that much time having youe kids switch to Linux. Not putting a value statement there, I think it is but that’s besides the point.

      You can also give quite a bit of power to virtualbox with 3d and hardware acceleration.

        I have an unraid with a 2070 super passed, but all the hardware here is 7th/8th gen. They’re barely scraping by on doors/obbys with baremetal :)

        Maybe next year they’ll get some upgrades with Debian attached :)

      Could try finding them a new game to play on the new system. I’ve never played Roblox myself so don’t have any suggestions, but I’m sure there’s something that will scratch that itch for your kids.
