A bootstrapper for Sober (Roblox client for Linux). - Wookhq/Lution

What is Lution?

Lution is a third-party bootstrapper (like Bloxstrap) for Sober. It enhances your experience with Roblox on Linux with QoL tweaks/extra features.

And the best part, ALL OF YOUR BLOXSTRAP MODS WORK.
Well, so far, atleast they have been tested to work 100%.

Showcase video linked below...

The only drawback is that you will have to build the software yourself from scratch...
Which is why, if you can, help out the developer and ship packages for your distro.

Have an awesome day ahead!

Roblox itself isnt open source yet, so it wouldnt really make much sense if Sober open sourced itself. The Roblox client is still closed source. Also:

Why is Sober Closed-Source?

We made it closed source to reduce the potential for abuse (which would lead to Roblox blocking us again). Additionally, distributing Sober as a Flatpak also allows us to implement tighter restrictions in order to prevent any abuse.

Hope this helps out :)

I know Roblox is not open source that's not the point. The thing is avoid sharing my account credentials with a third party software, if that software is not open source you don't know how they handle that data.
