Roblox on Linux guide
How to get Roblox working on Linux
1. Installing Vinegar
First, install the Vinegar flatpak from Flathub. If you previously have had it installed, make sure to uninstall it and clear all of the data.
If you do need to clear Vinegar from a previous install, run this in Konsole:
Do not launch it until instructed to, Vinegar still needs to be configured.
2. Configuring Vinegar to use the Linux beta
First open Konsole, don't worry, there's only 2 commands total and they're quite simple.
Run the following command:
3. First launch
The first time opening Vinegar takes a while because it has to download a lot of stuff. I recommend to run it in terminal so that you know it's still chugging along, you can do so by running:
Once the Roblox Window appears, simply close it and your terminal Window, as it's not longer needed.
4. Logging in
To log in to the Roblox App, first open a browser and log in to Roblox on that. Then, click the gear in the top right and press "Quick Log In"
Now, open the Roblox app, press log in, then "Log in with another device"
Then, type the code from the roblox app into the website, press log in, confirm log in, and then done.
5. Play!
That's it! Until Roblox takes WINE support out of beta, this should work for you just fine. I'd recommend using quick log in as 2FA may be slightly broken, but other than that, it should be one to one with Windows!

oh roblox has wine support again?
neat
It's currently in a beta channel, but it should be pushed to their main channel in the coming months I imagine.
Works good though
working great,but mine dont work unless i use channel = "zcanary"
in config.toml
Hm, they might have changed the channel
My Roblox client just stopped working too
So it's possbile
Annoying part is there's no documentation on this
yah i know lol,i went blind
I made the guide pretty much blind
Originally used an alternative Windows bootstrapper lol
Canary works for me too, interesting
Maybe that means it's moved up the dev ladder?
Not copium
ZIntegration just had an update pushed which appears to be broken, it seems like Canary is older
zsocialteam is also broken
So, seems like the break is unintentional
But also not much we can do to prevent future breaks
You can lock the canary version actually
forced_version = "version-2d6da672399b4cd0"
If you put that in config, it locks the canary version to the current one which worksalright thanks
is it normal to hit ur gpu usage to 100% in that roblox?
Yeah, it's a little weird under WINE. I'd recommend using DXVK over Vulkan now
alright i will use dxvk instead of vulkan
the new flatpak id for Vinegar is now
org.vinegarhq.Vinegar, it would be appreciated if you can change your guide to account for this
