This is really good news, glad to have access to the Roblox library on Linux again. I’m curious to see how the graphics compare to the desktop version.
That said, Roblox is a scummy company that exploits users and developers, many of whom are children. Also, the chat filter and content moderation are poor, and they completely ignore the major predator issue the platform has. I don’t support the company itself.
I don’t think there’s a separate build with Nvidia patches now (at least on the AUR), as they’re included/fixed upstream. Still plenty of config and environment variables to set on Nvidia. And the new Nvidia beta driver, 555, should fix flickering in xwayland windows that was caused by a lack of explicit sync support. It’s been working well for me so far!
No standard tools - you can't rely on the same tools being on every machine
These seem like pretty fundamental traits, since Linux is only the kernel. I think a better way to compare other OSs to Linux would be comparing them to specific Linux distros, since those often do have standardized installs.
But there’s not really a great answer for which distro or distros should be used to represent the whole linux ecosystem… and that fragmentation has both pros and cons.
Like, I really love my Arch desktop, but it took lots of time to learn and configure. And it often breaks with updates— it’s not something most users would want. However, I get cutting-edge updates and features, and I have specialized my entire OS to best work for my workflows.
I worked at a place with vending machines, and we completely lacked any ownership of them. Money stolen and need a refund? Call the number on the posted machine. If you paid in cash, no luck. This seems like that to me.
Same— my understanding is that there’s now no option to play without making one, which for some countries and territories is not even an option, making the game unplayable for them.
Gonna give this a try! I’ve been jumping between clients on my Hyprland desktop… rn I can’t do global PTT on any third-party apps, despite Hyprland passing the input through to the app exclusively. I haven’t even looked at Vesktop, though!
