    I wish Roblox would stop having their fight with Linux and I just convert my kids over.

    They absolutely don’t need Windows for anything but Roblox at the moment.

      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.

      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?

              tankie = stalinist/maoist style communist, take control of everything, anyone who resists, run them over with tanks.

              lemmy.ml has a bunch, also hexbear and especially lemmygrad.

              They seem like angsty tweens who suddenly realized they figured out the solution to everything, and anyone who doesn’t listen to them must be dealt with.
