We're testing Sober, a brand new way to get Roblox on your Linux desktop. It's a novel approach, separate to other compatibility software like Wine, Android emulators, or virtual machines. Sober works by creating a specialized runtime just for Roblox's code, ensuring compatibility.
We'd like to stress that Sober is an experimental project. It's a passion project rather than production-grade code. It's not supported by Roblox and may be discontinued at any time. You'll probably encounter bugs or instability.
You can expect Sober's performance to be the same or better than the Windows client running natively on the same machine. Many users report performance that surpasses any official method of playing Roblox.
Sober is unfortunately closed-source. This could change in the future. We currently use GitHub as an issue tracker for Sober (and to host this site).
Sober is a labor of love, and we'd love for you to try it out! We hope you enjoy your time. You can join our Discord server for support.
We distribute Sober as a Flatpak package. Here's how to use it:
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.
Your system doesn't have Desktop Portals properly configured. You can read documentation online for information on how to fix this. Alternatively, you can download the Flatseal app and temporarily give Sober access to your Downloads directory.
Sober is experimental software, so expect crashes. To help us fix the issue, try to provide logs by running Sober from the terminal: flatpak run org.vinegarhq.Sober
Sober is not affiliated with Roblox in any way. It's an unofficial community-made experimental project. Roblox may choose to prevent the Sober client from using their services.
