ROBLOX is not currently supported on operating systems using the Linux kernel, and there are no plans from ROBLOX to support it. However, running ROBLOX on these systems has been repeatedly shown to be possible using Wine. Until a recent bug prevented newer versions of ROBLOX from working in Wine, it was possible to get the ROBLOX client as well as the studio to work with no major problems. Alternatively, ROBLOX does work much better within a Windows Virtual Machine in Oracle VM VirtualBox on Linux.

  • ROBLOX is not currently supported on operating systems using the Linux kernel, and there are no plans from ROBLOX to support it. However, running ROBLOX on these systems has been repeatedly shown to be possible using Wine. Until a recent bug prevented newer versions of ROBLOX from working in Wine, it was possible to get the ROBLOX client as well as the studio to work with no major problems. ROBLOX works under Ubuntu, Fedora, and many other GNU/Linux Distributions and the BSD Distributions including FreeBSD using Wine. This has been tested multiple times, with recent success. As of May 15th, 2015, ROBLOX is considered a "Gold" application in the Wine App Database. As of July 22th, 2015, ROBLOX games shut down after loading the place. According to the ROBLOX Linux Wrapper Github Issue Tracker page, Wine seems to have networking issues, others speculate that ROBLOX is detecting Wine as cheating software, and others are saying that an OS lock is in place, preventing Wine from running ROBLOX. Alternatively, ROBLOX does work much better within a Windows Virtual Machine in Oracle VM VirtualBox on Linux.
