I believe Roblox devs disabled it for Linux
@glad warren (sorry to ping, but can you confirm this?)

#

it got reverted later

#

Use Vinegar, go to your app store and download it, or on their page

#

I recommend using flatpak

#

also, I recommend that you use an up-to-date driver inside the driver menu, one that doesnt glitch at least, I am personally using 525 cause for games 535 and 545 drop roblox down to 15 fps, while 525 for me renders better and is better with fps (40fps sadly)

#

theres a driver issue thats been happening lately so we'll see

glad warren
#

open an app called "Software"

#

you have it pre-installed, it tricked me too

#

That's fine, open an app on your pc Called Software

#

then search for Vinegar

#

Yes

#

It is for Roblox, it's how you can play it on Linux

glad warren
#

why does your pc look like that

#

and yea that is weird, try doing it from their github

#

Install it from the terminal so you can see the progress

#

Open the terminal and run:

flatpak install flathub io.github.vinegarhq.Vinegar

roblox does indeed work on linux

past crest
#

can you press show logs?

#

and paste the results here

past crest
#

lemme see

#

ive not seen this error before

#

open a terminal an run ```bash
grep -o avx /proc/cpuinfo

#

sorry typo now run it

#

does it flood you with the text "avx"

#

roblox under linux requires that your cpu support a thing called avx

#

this is not the case for windows though

#

if roblox is important to you theres always the option to dualboot

#

but you cant play under linux

#

i probably can't help with setting up a dualboot but i know a lot about getting roblox setup

#

dualboot means you will have both linux mint and windows installed alongside each other

#

when you turn on your pc you'll be asked which one you want

#

its not just windows you could install fedora and linux mint together if you wanted

#

what did this run before linux? windows 10?

#

if it ran something roblox still supports i think it'll be fine

#

oh wow

#

roblox does appear to support 7 an 8.1 but i would not recommend it as microsoft has ended support for it

#

... you know you have to be 13+ to be on discord right?

#

i am unsure i was gonna ask

#

no

#

Can you confirm this?

#

So you are 10?

#

Well, I will have to boot you from this server for that, which is obviously a shame as your intentions are just to get help.
However in accordance with the Discord ToS I/we cannot allow communications with users below 13.

#

But before I boot you, I will give you a link to the linux Mint forums.

#

do feel a little bad for doing this but its the rules minto_san_sip

#

Did you see the link?

glad warren
#

youll find help there dw

My apologies for having to enforce the Discord ToS, but the forums is also a good place for questions.
