Fedora 35 : Roblox Player and Roblox Studio with Grapejuice.

In today's tutorial, I will show you how to install and play Roblox on the Linux Fedora 35 distribution using Grapejuice software.
The Grapejuice software installs protocol handlers to open games from the Roblox website and file handlers to open place files. It also provides a management interface for installing and launching Roblox.
For this, you will need to have a computer with the necessary hardware requirements for this online game.
I tested it on the old HP Compaq 6710b laptop on which I installed Fedora version 35 and it worked very hard.
Here are the Linux commands I used to install.
[mythcat@fedora ~]$ git clone https://gitlab.com/brinkervii/grapejuice

Fedora 33 : The new Wine 6.0.

The new released of Wine 6.0 comes with this intro:
The Wine team is proud to announce that the stable release of Wine 6.0 is now available. This release represents a year of development effort and over 8,300 individual changes. It contains a large number of improvements that are listed in the release notes below. The areas of major changes are:
- Core modules in PE format.
- Vulkan backend for WineD3D.
- DirectShow and Media Foundation support.
- Text console redesign. ...

About Wine:
Wine (originally an acronym for "Wine Is Not an Emulator") is a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications on several POSIX-compliant operating systems, such as Linux, macOS, BSD. Instead of simulating internal Windows logic like a virtual machine or emulator, Wine translates Windows API calls into POSIX calls on-the-fly, eliminating the performance and memory penalties of other methods and allowing you to cleanly integrate Windows applications into your desktop.

I used the Wine repo to install easily this software:
[root@desk mythcat]# dnf config-manager --add-repo https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/fedora/33/winehq.repo
Adding repo from: https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/fedora/33/winehq.repo

Fedora and childish ideas .

The marketing, design and promotion of any product is a key element of success.
I have to admit that although I am not an active member of Fedora distribution teams and I am glad to be able to help where it is needed.
Over the last time, I spend my online time with my son playing Roblox ( because he is away from me) and trying to show him what the computer can do for people.
This game allows development with the LUA programming language and object creation for users.
The idea that programs and games are essential factors in our lives.
Also the fact that I have been using Fedora for a long time, I have allowed myself to implement an intention to promote the Fedora distribution.
This is a shirt created with the Fedora logo and can be worn in the Roblox game. He found it here.

Fedora: telnet game - BatMUD.

This is a good game if you have a telnet and internet connection.
Just open your terminal, run the telnet command and type o to open this: batmud.bat.org 23.
The game has an official website.
The team tells us about this game:

What is BatMUD - scratching the surface 

One could go on and rant for hours and hours about the Game. If you're not familiar with BatMUD, don't worry - you won't even be after the first week of playing. The game's not easy, it was never intended to be. The first eyeful can be deceiving, especially as we live in the fully graphical world of commercially produced, hundred-million dollar budget behemoths. Our game, it's nothing like that; even though we tend to boast that it is more, and trust us - it is. A problem with the modern day games is that, eventually they become very dull or simply uninspiring. However, BatMUD's text-based approach it is different, somewhat to as reading a good book - it's all about your imagination. Hundreds of volunteer developers through the Decades have brought a special uniqueness to the Game, and new ones continue the Legacy to this day. We cater to almost everyone: the available options and playstyles are basically endless. It's Your Realm.

Linux old game.


Released in 1989 for a bunch of platforms this game named Rick Dangerous is a story about exploring the catacombs in the world.
I've played in the past with an old PC with tape and I was super exciting by story and complexity. Now you can play with infinite lives.
Also you can try some development because you can get the source code.

The game can be found here.
