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 a Virtual Machine This guide has been tested on VMWare and not on an actual, physical machine. However, things should still work the same.

Not a Linux user? Please click here to see the MainDab installation guide for Windows. Additionally, MainDab was made for Windows and not for Linux.

Installing Wine

Wine problems with multiple graphic cards Wine will have issues running if you have multiple graphic cards. You will need to specify what graphics card you're using when using Gentoo itself.

Wine version This guide uses Wine 8.5.

Wine can easily be installed from the terminal.

$ sudo emerge --ask wine

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.

$ sudo emerge --ask winetricks

You must then make sure Winetricks is updated.

$ sudo winetricks --self-update

Zenity will also be neded for the Grapejuice UI, which we will see in the next step.

$ sudo emerge --ask zenity

Installing Grapejuice

Grapejuice is a wrapper that allows for Roblox to be played on Linux. Grapejuice can be obtained via flatpak, or through building Grapejuice from source.

However, for this guide, Grapejuice will be obtained via flatpak.

$ sudo emerge --ask flatpak
$ flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
$ flatpak install flathub net.brinkervii.grapejuice

After that, reboot Gentoo. After rebooting, open the UI for Grapejuice.

$ flatpak run net.brinkervii.grapejuice gui

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.
