    Switching the household’s PCs to avoid the Windows 11 BS here. All my stuff is good so far, but the kids have a few games that don’t work - Minecraft Bedrock, Fortnite, and Roblox.

      If your kids really need Roblox to work, they could try Sober. I personally don’t play Roblox, so I’ve never tried it, but I’ve heard good things about it.

      Have you seen the Schlep controversy? Personally, I would be glad if my family PC suddenly couldn’t run Roblox and “sorry kiddo it just doesn’t work anymore”

      Probably for the best, lol. At the very least, Roblox isn’t particularly good for kids.

      Also, modded Minecraft through Prism beats bedrock any day of the week. I’m hoping when my kids are of age, they’ll be down for an expert pack. My daughter sure as hell will be, she’s as weird as I am. I’m sure more normal kids have packs they’d enjoy, though.

      Mine are playing Minecraft and Roblox under Linux without problems. I don’t remember what I did for Minecraft, but for Roblox you need something called ‘Sober’.

        Minecraft runs natively. One version is Java, so thats easy enough. I think the C++ version has an installer.
