2024 is the Year of Linux on the Desktop, at least for my boyfriend. He’s running Windows 7 right now, so I’ll be switching him to Ubuntu in a few days. Ubuntu was chosen because Proton is officially supported in Ubuntu.

      It shows in your dozen posts refusing to take any of the many available paths forward.

      Roblox runs on the latest windows, you’ll be fine.

        Of course, The many forked paths of “valve should have a legacy downloader”.

        How silly am I to miss all of them.

        It truly is the consumers fault, afterall. /s

          What about

          • Microsoft should have legacy compatibility mode that works
          • use Proton
          • use WINE
          • use community mods or registry tweaks to run on newer windows versions
          • read what you’re leasing

            and now we’re circling back to already asked and answered shit

            are you okay?

            If you are this forgetful may I suggest discussing it with your doctor, and possibly scheduling a brain scan?

                  Or I’m just wondering why you refuse to blame Microsoft for not having a working compatibility mode? Or use any other solution users have presented?

                  Why can’t you just use a mod to enable support for the game? Have you tried and were unable to figure it out?

                    Oh dear god, do you think Microsoft owns valve?

                    Is that why you think modding windows will let it download stuff from valves service?
