Unfortunately, no. But you can always use Roblox Player in a Windows VM with GPU passthrough enabled.
I agree, if/when roblox gets native support I will finally be able to single boot linux. It gets a bit annoying having to boot into windows just to play roblox, i could single boot windows but it eats 4 of my 8GB of ram and its really bloated.

Hi, new member here and Roblox newbie. From personal experience, Roblox used to run under Wine but updates after that Roblox would treat wine as a form of anti-cheat and shut it down, or not boot at all. Roblox Studio never booted for me through Wine.
Windows is not that bloated, if youâre just going to use Roblox Player and Roblox Studio itâll be fine. You could also use a Windows VM (which I recommend turning on GPU pass-through for a major performance increase). You could always just switch to Windows altogether, there are many privacy utilities which do a great job of debloating, hardening, and removing privacy-invading features included in Windows 10.

My only question about this is,
Does it violate Robloxâs TOS?
To my knowledge, I donât think Roblox will take any actions against you for this. Of course, this is no guarantee as I donât work at Roblox. I donât see why you would be banned for using this, itâs just a program which allows you to run Roblox Studio on Linux, not and exploit or anything. Of course, this is no guarantee, but if I were you, I would go for it!

This is not against Robloxâs TOS. Keep in mind that only studio works (as of now). The game client doesnât work because of robloxâs anticheat. If you get the client to work (and thus bypassing the anticheat) you would be handling against Robloxâs TOS.

I came back to Grapejuice about a year later, just to test out Linux (LMDE 4) on actual gaming hardware. Works great as expected, but one issue I have is changing the Roblox lighting to the new Future lighting freezes up the whole computer, leading me to hold my power button to restart. Is there a solution to fix that?

I am running a KVM virtual machine through QEMU with VFIO based GPU passthrough. My only installs on the system are Roblox Player / Roblox Studio, Discord, ShareX, Looking Glass (for screen recording), AMD GPU drivers. While sitting with one Firefox tab and Task Manager tab open, I am using 7.7 GB of memory as marked through the committed section. Before I cleared up files to make room for having a page file, whenever the 7.7 GB of memory reached the amount of memory set for the VM, it would result in system freezes inside of the VM. This is also after the usage of utilities such as Windows 10 Debloater.
Additionally, my Linux installation (discounting the /home folder, /var (qemu disks,)) and other files are only taking up 75 GB of space, despite the massive amount of software that I have been too lazy to remove from my system. Meanwhile, my Windows 10 VM is sitting at 39.7 GB of storage in usage.
Windows is most definitely bloated, and for myself and others, this usage of system resources is still a hassle to deal with. There is no replacement that can be made for proper Linux support, and either way, all of us are still inconvenienced for choosing an option that we see as better.

Windows isnât the cleanest operating system. Itâs only taking this much storage because itâs being run in a virtual machine. If you really want the best performance and want to continue using Linux as your main OS, youâll need to dual-boot.

Linux is definitely more lightweight and less resource heavy then Windows. You can put the latest version of Ubuntu on a 10 year old laptop and expect it to run pretty smoothly. Whilst Windows 10 on that same laptop wouldnât work as smooth (or even wouldnât boot).
A VM does indeed consume alot more memory, so dual-booting is your best option.

A few years ago, Iâve tried using this GitHub - ChrisRfr/Win10XPE: Win10XPE is a Complete Project Based on Win10, Win11 Recovery Environment With Many Windows Features Added..., itâs much lighter than standard windows. I can only recommend it for VMs because it can be incompatible with a lot of windows programs and can have lots of issues, but roblox ran just fine, but definitely not your daily driver OS. Without drivers, CPU usage is none, RAM usage be as low as 512MB, and it can fit in less than a 16GB single fat32 partition if you wish. It doesnât include stuff like windows update, so no automatic drivers for you, you need to export them from a full windows installation, and import into it. For building it, unchecking everything just to try it out is a good idea, later, you should check the programs you use, because they may include fixes such as audio in Firefox, instead of installing yourself. After creating an ISO, you can install to disk following this: WinPE: Install on a Hard Drive (Flat Boot or Non-RAM) | Microsoft Learn.

@Brinker7 Where would I find the âRoblox Versions folderâ, if there is one, to use Elttobâs Vanilla Studio Retexture? Iâve loved how this functions so far btw

The folder is at ~/.local/share/grapejuice/wineprefix/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Roblox/Versions. Iâve been thinking about adding modmanager-like functionality to Grapejuice, but unfortunately Iâm a bit strapped for time at the moment.

hello. I have a trouble when i trying to run install.py file.
Error:
Your current version of python is out of date and Grapejuice cannot be installed.
Python 3.7 is required. Check the Grapejuice source repository for the installation instructions.
So what should I do? I tried to update the Python version but it didnât help. Maybe Iâm doing something wrong?

You need to run the install script using the actual Python 3.7 binary. So the command will be python3.7 ./install.py.
More importantly, Python 3.6 support ends soon, and so does support for your current distribution probably. So I recommend upgrading your distribution to a newer LTS release (which will include Python 3.7 by default as well).

Hey,
Could you provide your Distro? Iâll take a quick look and see as did an install a few days ago.

My initial suggestion is to install the libffi(-dev(el)) package for python, if that doesnât work, Mint 19.3 may be too outdated and youâll need to update to the next LTS version or rolling release.
