PayPalWhile Roblox does still remain blocked on Linux with Wine, as usual the community finds a way. The Vinegar team recently revealed Sober, a currently closed-source specialized runtime for the Android version of Roblox.
So if you're really desperate to get Roblox on Linux, Sober seems like the main way right now. Since it uses the Android version, you do need to manually download a Roblox APK which can be done from various mirror websites like apkmirror. There's lots of these sites where you can grab an APK, do so at your own risk.
The Vinegar team explain: "Sober crafts a specialized runtime for the Android version of Roblox. Effectively, it bridges the small gap between Android and Linux, allowing for a native unofficial port."
As you can see from my shot below, it works:
Currently it's available to download as Flatpak, but not from Flathub as they're hosting it themselves.
Like before when playing Roblox in Wine though, it's possible (and probable) it will be blocked eventually. Although, it may end up being a little more difficult with something like this.

Quoting: luapQuoting: Viesta2015Quoting: luapThere are basically three things that have been keeping me from just switching to linux full time, none of them related to myself.
My kids NEED roblox, minecraft (bedrock), and the oculus steam streaming VR thing.
roblox being an option now checks one box, and minecraft (bedrock) is just fine with the mcpelauncher. I just need steam to make the steamvr link thingy that wirelessly connects on windows work on linux, and i'll never look back.

I tried this, it works fine on windows but doesn't work on linux yet, last i checked anyway.
I have heard that ALVR is meant to work, i might give that a try at some point and see!
I tried using ALVR... Could never get it to work on bazzite through my steam deck... just wanted to try and see if minecraft VR would work since it's surprisingly not that demanding... managed to get it running on a Mini PC
