Roblox was broken on Deck and linux by the addition of a new anti-cheat. The way the Sober app gets around the anti-cheat is by instead running the android app. This apparently has some significant performance improvements over the usual PC app as well, with people reporting up to twice the performance on the same hardware.

I know people are pretty dismissive of roblox (myself included), but it’s hugely popular and it’s always good to have the option.

I was hoping it would be a wrapper so could be used for other games like minecraft, but seems customized to Roblox and closed source.

Would WayDroid qualify as what you’re looking for?

You don’t have to give multiple reasons for one to avoid Roblox
