About Sober

Sober is a way to run Roblox on a Linux desktop. It is distributed as a Flatpak package through Flathub. According to the developers, it creates a specialized runtime for Roblox's code, rather than using compatibility layers such as Wine, Android emulators, or virtual machines. The developers state that its performance is expected to match or exceed the Windows Roblox client running natively on the same machine, and say that many users report performance better than official methods.

The developers describe Sober as an experimental, passion project rather than production-grade software. It is not supported by Roblox, may be discontinued at any time, and users should expect bugs or instability. The software is closed-source, though the developers say this could change. Support is offered through a Discord server, and GitHub is used as the issue tracker.
