iceblox

by @iceblox

I've been building iceblox, a linux runtime that runs Roblox extraordinarily well on Linux, and on the old and cheap PCs (blazing fast on new). Roblox has no native Linux client, and the usual community workarounds quietly assume a fairly modern machine. If you're on something older or low-end, you're mostly out of luck. My children use 14 year old pc's. We did use Sober, however recently support for non AVX CPU's was dropped which is what spawned this project. I built roblox for my children, but the end result performance wise has been amazing so I thought I would share it with you too. It just hit 1.0 and it genuinely plays well and there's Bazzite / Fedora Atomic support now too. https://iceblox.app Would love any feedback, and happy to answer questions.
