What is Sober?

Sober is an app built to make playing Roblox on Linux desktops seamless. Previously, players relied on methods like Wine, Android emulators, or virtual machines, but these approaches are now outdated. As per the official website, Sober provides a runtime for the Android version of Roblox, effectively bridging the gap between Android and Linux.

Before we dive into the details, it's important to note that Sober is a closed-source application and has not been officially authorized by Roblox Studios. So proceed at your own risk as you might encounter issues such as crashing, keybind mismatches, and lag.
