VMs are easier than ever now and those simple games like won't be upset they are running in a VM. Bonus is you can have snapshots and always restore to a working state no matter what the kids do to it.

Roblox isn't a simple game anymore. They have a new anticheat (Byfron) that detects virtual machines and refuses to start.

  It's still comparatively very simple compared to stuff like CoD. Qemu has made an advancement on being able to hide that you are in a vm. Byfron is likely only targeted at Parallels, hyperv and vmware. If you try it with qemu and follow the steps to make the vm undetectable as a vm it will probably work fine.

OK I'll give it a go. It would be really nice to get everything on base-linux rather than needing this one machine to go through WSL.

  I had a link I wanted to give you, one of the privacy distros had a whole guide on hiding the fact that programs were running in a vm from programs, but I can't find it right now. If I find it I'll post it again. Otherwise this[0] link might be useful. Completely agree about it shouldn't being necessary and would be nice if it wasn't.
