Roblox

What works

Managed to do the following:

• Install Studio
• Edit a new place from a template
• Playtest a place you're currently editing

What does not

• Login doesn't work by default because the host browser doesn't redirect back to Wine (see Workarounds)
• Rotating the camera using the right mouse button doesn't work properly when editing, but works fine when playtesting

Workarounds

When logging in you'll be directed to a login page in your native browser. Once you've logged in your browser will log the roblox-studio-auth:/ link; open that with RobloxStudioBeta.exe and you'll be logged in.

Be sure you're not using OpenGL for wined3d or you'll experience menu + performance issues.

What was not tested

• Collaborative editing
• Plugins
• Loading an existing place
• Publishing a place

Hardware tested

Graphics:

• GPU: Nvidia
• Driver: proprietary

Additional Comments

It is definitely possible to go through all of the steps of installing Roblox through it's installer, as well as everything that is needed for Roblox to run and configuring it's settings. 

However, as this process is tedious, especially for someone who just wants to get Roblox up and running, there are a few wrappers to make this process easier:

• Vinegar [Recommended] - Actively maintained fast and minimal wrapper created as an alternative to Grapejuice for more advanced Linux users.
  • Prebuilt packages for most major Linux distributions, as well as Flatpaks hosted on Flathub. 
  • Does not have a GUI for configuration (yet), so all the configuring is done by editing a text file.
  • Recommended due to it's ease of install and active maintaining.

• Grapejuice [NOT RECOMMENDED] - Another Roblox Linux wrapper focused on ease of install and use.
  • As of July 8th, 2024, Grapejuice has been marked as abandoned by it's head maintainer.
  • Please do not use Grapejuice anymore. The only reason why it was included in this list is to guide any newcomers away from it, since it was widely recommended in older tutorials. Use Vinegar instead.
  • Prebuilt packages for most major Linux distributions, however the Flatpak listed on the site does not exist anymore because the wrapper hasn't received updates in a long time.
  • Much less actively maintained than Vinegar since Roblox Player has stopped working with Wine.
  • Has a GUI for configuration.
• Roblox Linux Wrapper [NOT RECOMMENDED] - Possibly the first Roblox Linux wrapper to be made.
  • The project repository has been archived since April 1st, 2024.
  • Please do not use this. The only reason why it was included in this list is to guide any newcomers away from it, since it was widely recommended in older tutorials.

Roblox Studio still works with Wine since it doesn't have any anti cheat, and Roblox has no plans of putting it in Studio.
