GitHub - Wookhq/Lution: A bootstrapper for Sober (Roblox client for linux). in c/roblox@lemmy.ml

Some more info about Sober:

How does Sober work? Is it official? Will it ever get blocked by Roblox?

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. All PC-only features and experiences are available on Sober thanks to our special runtime. Sober is unofficial research software. Roblox may choose to prevent Sober clients from using their services at any time.

Roblox blocked Sober during the Hunt, so it is most probable that it MAY BE blocked in the future. For now, just hang on folks...

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 :)

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!
