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

After installation, you can search and find the installation and Roblox Player and Roblox Studio.

Fedora 33 : Roblox and Wine.

Because I tried to install this platform, I will show you what works and what doesn't. 

At this moment Roblox Player cannot be run with Wine. 

I tested two ways to run it.

First is the roblox-linux-wrapper and the second is the direct way to install RobloxPlayerLauncher.exe.

The roblox-linux-wrapper works but you will get this error. 

The install process is simple:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ git clone https://github.com/roblox-linux-wrapper/roblox-linux-wrapper.git

[mythcat@desk ~]$ whereis wine
wine: /usr/bin/wine /usr/lib/wine /usr/lib64/wine /usr/share/wine /usr/share/man/man1/wine.1.gz

[mythcat@desk ~]$ roblox-linux-wrapper/rlw
> main: Sourcing /home/mythcat/roblox-linux-wrapper/data/rlw-core.sh
> wineinitialize: sourcing /home/mythcat/.rlw/wine_choice

Another way is to download the EXE file and run it with Wine.

[mythcat@desk ~]$ wget http://setup.rbxcdn.com/RobloxPlayerLauncher.exe
wine RobloxPlayerLauncher.exe 
...

You can try to start a game on browser , select the Roblox Player and will get the same error. A good news is about Roblox Studio, this works very well:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ wget https://setup.rbxcdn.com/RobloxStudioLauncherBeta.exe
[mythcat@desk ~]$ wine RobloxStudioLauncherBeta.exe

My video card NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210] (rev a2) is not very good with this application , but works.
