From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I switched from macos to Linux because it can't stop babying users and being unnecessarily restrictive (lemmy.ml)

I tried running a 2nd instance of Roblox simultaneously on macos 15 with another account but this shows up, if my mac can handle it then why can't it just let me do it? If I have two copies of an app like Roblox in separate User/Applications folders, macos moves them to the /Applications/ folder.

Sometimes it won't run apps claiming to be corrupted, so I then have to do sudo xattr -cr /Applications/someapp.app in the terminal and they run perfectly fine. It always nags me if I download apps from anywhere but mac app store. Some of these messages can only be gotten rid of by disabling system integrity protection, but then macos blocks you from running MAS apps due to having "permissive security".

I don't daily drive macOS anymore, I switched to Linux on my M1 mac where I can do whatever the hell I want.

That isn’t a Mac error message. It’s Roblox giving you that error.

Can you play Roblox? I thought they blocked it on Linux.

Why would they do that?

Sober lets you play Roblox on Linux

NGL I think whatever you're trying to do is either a limitation of the Roblox install or something else that isn't specifically an OS X issue. The file permission stuff sounds weird and I'd reevaluate what you're trying to do and if the approach is correct, especially if you're going to have to turn off operating system security features to get it to work.
