Keyboard not working when i play roblox

Hi guys, im experiencing a problem on roblox. For some reason i cant move anymore using my keyboard. It used to work but now it doesnt. (I use a lenovo touch screen btw) I had no problems until this happened, i thought it would go away if i just close the app and try again. This happened all the way in august and I'm STILL trying to fix it. I use the joystick to move with my fingers but its SO annoying because it affects the way i play the game. The only time my keyboard works is when i type in the chat. I can't use WASD, Esc, and other keys. I tried logging out on my main account and doing another account but it doesn't work. Please, how do i fix this? I really hope its fixable.

Should I install Linux?

Would allowing my 2 year old Chromebook to use Linux over Chrome make it run more efficiently? Gaming is tricky enough but feels less fluid lately.

Games for 6 yr old

My daughter just got a Acer Chromebook for Christmas what are some easy games available to download? She's 6 and We've got Minecraft which seems really difficult learning key controls and Roblox which also seems harder to play than mobile versions when it comes to learning controls is this common or is there settings to adjust? I bought a wireless mouse thinking it'd make playing games easier for her. What are some of y'all's favorite kid games? Also Any advice on making Minecraft and roblox easier would be much appreciated

Chromebook-Linux-Emulation?

I’ve been given an old Chromebook, nothing special but I’m wondering if I can find a use for it. Is it possible to replace chrome with Linux to then install an emulator front end to create an arcade machine like with Batacera or Retrobat?

Looking for something better than RetroArch

Can schools really see what you do on your Chromebook?

Can schools really see what you do on Chromebooks. For example like your screen exactly. And do they check all the time and monitor?

Retroarch controller issues

I have an 8bitdo pro 2 controller, and one of the features is the ability to switch between switch( the console) mode, android mode, direct input(PlayStation) or Xinput(PC and Xbox). The issue is that none of these seem to work inside the Linux VM that I have retroarch running in. If anyone could offer me any guidance, it would be appreciated. Both Xinput and Android mode work, but android mode doesnt recognize it as an 8bitdo pro 2, while Xinput recognizes it.

File Accessibility Issues Regarding Steam Beta and Chrome

I am terribly sorry to ask this, as I don't know if what I'm asking can happen or work. I have been jumping through literal hoops trying to work with Steam Beta and get things to work on my Chromebook. Things have been going well but I have suddenly hit an impasse with the files the applications bring up.

The images attached show how each version of my files show up.

What I'm trying to figure out is whether or not I can access the files shown in the first image. (I looked through my Wine files that I have through my Linux folder and it isn't that. At least, I'm almost certain.) I need to be able to access these files for my RPG Maker game and to move my games around on the laptop.

If there are no answers for this, is there anywhere else I can look in order to find one? I have been up searching since yesterday on this topic and there is nothing that I've been able to find. There is absolutely no way that this is an issue that I alone have been facing. There has to be something. If my computer can access those files through games and through Steam, there has to be another way to access them.

Steam + Game Files

Ofc the reg Google files

The future of Steam for Chormebooks

Do you think that, once out of the beta, Borealis can also work on Chormebooks that were initially unsupported? I have a pixelbook go (i5 / 16) And I'm sure many games would work without any problems. And nothing. I just hope Google makes more devices supported.

How to use Gnome-keyring?

So, not sure if this is the right subreddit, sorry.

My friend has a Chromebook laptop and we did some googling and got Linux to be able to get Java Minecraft. Upon first opening, it was totally fine and normal. But when they opened it again later, the "get gnome keyring" error thing kept popping up.

They installed the gnome keyring thing. But now we don't know how to proceed because clicking the file comes up with a ton more files. And the pop up hasn't gone away.

Can't purchase Minecraft via family link

My son got a Chromebook for Christmas and he wants to play Minecraft. His mom and I set everything up and set up the family link for the play store. When we try to buy the game we are given the your message saying the transaction is declined and to use another card. We've tried using all of my cards and his mom's cards and keep getting the same error. All the cards have available balances on them.

Does anyone know what is going on and how to fix the issue?
