Linux for a Windows & Android person (Advice needed)
Linux for a Windows & Android person (Advice needed)
I need to install an OS for someone whose first impulse upon seeing a screen is to touch it, because they are young and their first assumption is a touchscreen.
They know their way around Windows and Windows is probably tought to them at school, so Windows might actually be the smart move… but I fucking hate it.
Is ZorinOS or similar polished enough that I can leave it to someone whose tech literacy is centered around Roblox, TikTok and evading parental locks? I don't want to normalize the Windows-bullshit. But I don't want their first Linux-experience to be frustrating.

just a heads up last I checked roblox wasn't officially supported on Linux, though this may have changed in the last 6 months.

It seems that there are unofficial ports. OP could test it out before.
there's an app called Sober on flathub, developed by creators of Vinegar. i use it to play roblox and i can say it works without any issues. the setup is really simple, since it dowloads everything by itself
It's broken because of anti cheat. I believe it's possible to use the android version though.
I really wish we'd stop saying "anti cheat" and start saying "system compromising rootkit software"
Yeah, if it requires kernel level access, I consider it malware. Not all anti cheat requires a rootkit and some even works on wine when the game developers allow it. It's still not good for privacy, but at least you can play the game from a user account with limited access and keep your data safe.
