Roblox. I had my kids on linux originally, but there's no linux version of Roblox, and the proposed workarounds I found were unreliable, out of date, or more work than I was willing to invest in.
- teekert 5y agoOh no, I'm just going to have to hope they won't ask for it before Proton (or something) starts supporting it :) But you are right, a time may come when they will want Windows. Although my wife's computer runs it (needs it as a teacher), so they may use that for Win only stuff. I'll deal with it when the time comes. I could do a VM with GPU pass-through and Steam client... Although that may also turn out to be more than I'm willing to invest (and essentially you still run Windows). Or maybe I'll dual boot...
- peapicker 5y agoWon’t the Steam client also ask you for a phone number as soon as you want to buy anything? How do you decide where to draw the line?
- jholman 5y agoI don't think Steam wants any more from me than any other payment processor. And for that matter, if you don't want to give them CC/address, you can use Steam gift cards, right? I confess I'm not sure; I've trusted Valve with a very specific part of my life (buying games) for nearly 20 years now, and they've held up their end of the bargain the entire time. My trust in them has paid off (so far!)
