  • Thanks for your reply :)

    I think the problem with roblox goes far beyond the individual freedom to access a program.

    What we both say isn’t mutually exclusive. But I do think that gaming Linux communities could take a stand on the kind of gaming world we want and the kind we don’t want…

    Looking at the downvotes I get here and setting aside people who don’t like/understand irony, I feel either there are a bunch of roblox-fan (I sincerely hope it’s not it) or there are people like you who took the individual freedom to use a computer and apply it with crushing dogmatism (but without taking the time to expend on it like you did). But do gnu/Linux communities have to be chain to this ? I’m not sure. When twitter was shit, do we just said ‘never mind it runs on Linux, we’re free.’ ? Or reddit or Facebook ? No we discouraged actively to use those platforms and we build alternative that are better for people. Here what do we have ? A gaming platform with predatory practices toward children and we give it access to our computer without even the game studio had to lift a finger for it. A new (and small yes, but still) market of users for what you called yourself a ‘asshole game studio’.







  • Back up your data before hand.

    You can use gparted on your mint live session to resize the windows partition to minimal size, leaving the biggest empty space possible. Leave 500mo to the windows partition as a safety net.

    Then during the install process :

    • choose manual install (not install on a full drive),
    • create an ext4 partition for the system (30 to 50 go) with a “/” mount point. It’s the system partition.
    • create a “swap” partition (size = your computer ram x 2). It’s the physical memory partition.
    • last create an ext4 partition (all remaining space) with a “/home” mount point. It’s the personal data partition.

    Once the install completed you will be able to access your windows data from mint.
