I want to start using Linux but I won't be able to play Roblox

[Real_LordBob]

My friend who used to use Ubuntu Linux recently switched back to Windows 11 because he said that it couldn't run natively and didn't have support for Wine. I want to switch from Windows 10 to Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition but I am worried that I will not be able to run Roblox on it. If you have any way to play Roblox on Linux I will be very grateful.

Others may post better suggestions, but when I made the switch to Linux, I ran a dual boot for the programs I had that had no Linux equivalent. But that turned out to be inconvenient for me. I solved the problem by making my main computer Linux only, and buying a refurbished computer with Windows from Amazon. That was just over 10 years ago now and am still doing it this way.

I am worried that I will not be able to run Roblox on it.

According to this post it should be possible with a bit of tweaks:

Why Is this in Community resources? 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...

I'm not a gamer, in fact, I've never heard of Roblox, but on the rare occassion that I need to run a windows program, I run it on a virtual windows machine. Personally, I use VirtualBox for virtual machines but there are other choices. This may be an option for you.
Note, never having run a game on a virtual machine I can't vouch for the performance. Still, you may want to research it yourself.
