Installing Wine and Grapejuice
You will need Wine, Winetricks and Grapejuice.
Some notes
MainDab is discontinued! Use MainDab at you own risk. We aren't responsible for the loss of your Roblox account.
This guide was done on an actual machine This guide has been tested on a laptop with Arch Linux installed, and not on a virtual machine like how other guides have been tested using (I use Arch btw)
Not a Linux user? Please click here to see the MainDab installation guide for Windows.
Installing Wine
Wine problems with multiple graphic cards
Wine will have issues running if you have multiple graphic cards. For example, if you are using a laptop with both Intel and Nvidia cards, you must use a tool like optimus-manager(which needs a DM like LightDM) to switch to your graphics cards.
Wine version This guide uses Wine 8.5.
Wine can easily be installed from the terminal.
You may also choose to use wine-staging instead.
Possible problems with wine-mono
Installing wine-mono could be problematic when it come to installing .NET Framework dependencies. If wine-mono is already installed, you can uninstall it using sudo pacman -R wine-mono.
Installing Winetricks
After installing Wine, we may now install Winetricks.
You must then make sure Winetricks is updated.
Zenity will also be neded for the Grapejuice UI, which we will see in the next step.
Installing Grapejuice
Grapejuice is a wrapper that allows for Roblox to be played on Linux. Grapejuice can be obtained from the AUR. The example below uses yay, an AUR package helper.
Afterwards, open the UI for Grapejuice.
You will be greeted with a UI that looks like this.
Click on "Open Roblox App", and wait for Grapejuice to finish setting up Roblox. Once that is done, click on "Player" on the menu in the left.
This is what you should see. After Roblox is downloaded, you must reboot. Dependencies installed from Winetricks will be installed after the reboot.
