skribe

My understanding is that Roblox requires changes to the kernel to lock it down in order to prevent script kiddies from cheating. Linux makes that very difficult to impossible, so they abandoned/never supported the platform.

Can you play Roblox? I thought they blocked it on Linux.

My daily driver is a 10yo Dell business laptop. Before that I ran a similarly aged Lenovo. I run mint.

In my experience, the amount of ram and an SSD are the biggest contributors to how good the performance feels. Running mint on 4G is possible, but performance is comprised. 8G is perfectly fine most of the time. 16G (my current setup) is peachy keen. I’m astounded what I can do in blender on a 10yo machine.

That said, if you can afford one (and they operate in your country - they don’t here), then grab a framework, like others have said. If that’s not an option, then add some ram and an SSD.

My 2c.

Let’s be honest, the Soviets were perfectly willing to allow the Nazis to destroy Europe and then reap the rewards. Just ask Poland. Of course, then the Nazis invaded the Soviets and that threw a spanner into the works.
