When your old PC goes over the Windows 10 update cliff, can Windows 11 save it?

I wish Roblox would stop having their fight with Linux and I just convert my kids over.
They absolutely don't need Windows for anything but Roblox at the moment.
roblox works on linux https://sober.vinegarhq.org/
Otoh, Roblox is evil and you could just use the switch to Linux to be like, "oh no, I guess we can't have Roblox anymore!"
My home is more of a democracy than a dictatorship. I could of course forbid them from playing, impose whatever sanctions, But they have fun doing it and they have a bunch of real life friends that join them.
You sound like a good parent, those kids are gonna do just fine

Oh, now you've done it, you've pissed off the tankies.
Dude, if I could get them to seize the means of production...
Damn, as a father, I feel that.
All of us dad's could make a pact to teach our kids to seize the means of production. Maybe turn them into sleepers who all activate some day in like 2028.
What is a tanky? Only heard that after switching to Lemmy. What's the origin?
It's a term that goes back to the cold war. There was a strike and the Soviet Union ended it violently by rolling tanks into the city. This put communists all over the world into a bit of a dilemma: on one side of the conflict was the working class making their opinion known (a communist value) and on the other the Soviet Union (the good guys). So whose side should they take?
It was British communists who coined the term "tankie" for those who defended the SUs actions to brand them as "fake communists" who are more interested in identity politics (the good guys did it, therefore it's OK) than the plight of the working class.
tankie = stalinist/maoist style communist, take control of everything, anyone who resists, run them over with tanks.
lemmy.ml has a bunch, also hexbear and especially lemmygrad.
They seem like angsty tweens who suddenly realized they figured out the solution to everything, and anyone who doesn't listen to them must be dealt with.
Specifically referring to scenarios where tanks were used in conflicts between civilians and the state, such as Tiananmen square or Chechnya and expressing support for the side using tanks.
Have you tried using sober?
It's been a little while since I tried last thing I tried was the bottles method and it was not going well.
I'd be willing to give it another shot, But if I do find something else that works I've got to make sure that continues to work. If somebody changes something and They miss out on a Halloween or a Christmas live event I'll never hear the end of it.
Have you looked outside ? No
Run a Windows VM in
<insertYourDistroHere>and run Roblox?They're not on the finest of boxes and a lot of the Roblox games actually need some decent resources.
When we get closer to the drop dead date I may give it a shot. I'm kind of hoping Roblox will get around too not being pig-headed about it.
Could try finding them a new game to play on the new system. I've never played Roblox myself so don't have any suggestions, but I'm sure there's something that will scratch that itch for your kids.
You can definitely give a VM enough power through KVM and qemu to run Roblox. You can even try your hand at single gpu passthrough if it's worth that much time having youe kids switch to Linux. Not putting a value statement there, I think it is but that's besides the point.
You can also give quite a bit of power to virtualbox with 3d and hardware acceleration.
I have an unraid with a 2070 super passed, but all the hardware here is 7th/8th gen. They're barely scraping by on doors/obbys with baremetal :)
Maybe next year they'll get some upgrades with Debian attached :)
