You can do this math yourself, you will come to the same conclusion. There are 8 billion people on earth, let’s divide that by 50%, and we have 4 billion people that own a computer and use a computer, and let’s multiply that by 3%, we get 120,000,000 Linux users worldwide that currently use Linux as their main PC OS, that’s a huge market. Roblox even confirmed on On Jthat Linux support is 97% complete but on RDC 2020’s QnA section, they have said there are no plans for linux support, they likely saw what it is.Īs briefly mentioned in the statements above, There is no competition for a growing market, while yes, you can look at the 3% of people that do use linux and say “well noone uses that”, but let’s do some quick maths, And the amount of linux distros you have to support is simply out of the question Let’s look at Roblox’s point of view, Linux was never made for the general PC market, the marketshare is low, and that Linux users are unlikely to pay for stuff like Robux, or Premium, because of how we advocate about how we got our OS for free, and Roblox isn’t going to spend time to train their huge arsenal of employees to be able to use Linux, just for 3% of the PC marketshare. But Roblox doesn’t see any market in Linux yet. As Linux is a growing market that barely any company touches, this is a dream for a company like Roblox, as there’s no competition, what are you gonna compete against? air? yeah right. So starting over with the obvious, cost, while yes, it’s not really cost effective in the short term, in the long term however, it is a thing to consider. Well there are a few reasons why Roblox may not want to make official support for linux, while yes, they are a multi billion $ company with tons of resources, it really isn’t a good idea in the short term. Why official Linux support will likely never happen This post isn’t me forcing roblox to make official support, this isn’t a petition. How you can play roblox under linux unofficially (step by step) Why official Linux support will likely never happenĢ, Why Roblox might be wrong about what they look at Linuxģ. We are going to go over a few things, which I will list here:ġ. There is no real specific section for a post like this, in theory, this can be a feature request, an engine request (both of which I can’t make a topic inside of), a community tutorial and a community resource at the same time, and it’s pretty hard to choose between these 4 if if you want to combine all 4 into 1 post, it’s pretty inconvenient to post 4 posts about the same thing, so let’s put this all in one
