Comment on What I learned from 3 years of running Windows 11 on “unsupported” PCs
linearchaos@lemmy.world 1 year agoThey’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.
