User blog:410Gone/ROBLOX: Linux Port

I always thought ROBLOX seemed like a fun game. The thought of not only playing countless games made by creative people across the globe, but also possibly making my own should I gather the talent was amazing. Eventually, I decided it was time to participate.

But at that very moment I decided to finally hop in the bandwagon, there was one issue that prevented me from getting on...

I was a Linux user. Now, in case you don't know, on May 4, 2023, Roblox introduced an anti-cheat that apparently made it so that you can't go on the platform with Linux anymore. I know what you're thinking; couldn't I have just gotten a Windows computer? I honestly would've, but my family wasn't doing all too well financially, so we couldn't quite afford one. Fortunately, though, we, at the same time, had enough money to pay bills and everything, so don't go thinking I'm not typing this out on the streets next to a Walmart or something.

Naturally, I was desperate for a way to participate; just now, I'm barred from ever being on the platform, ALL BECAUSE I HAVE A SPECIFIC OPERATING SYSTEM! Surely, there must be a way. So as one would likely do, I began scouring the web for any possible bypasses for this whole Linux ban. By this point, you might be wondering: "Can't you just use Wine or something?" Well, the new anticheat made it so that you can't use that kind of stuff either. I was very determined; at worst, maybe I'd just settle for a random bootleg of the game.
