MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A few days ago on their developer forum, one of their staff members replied (you have to be signed in to read) noting "shoutout to the Grapejuice community - this one is for you".
The staff member also included a screenshot of Roblox running on Manjaro Linux:
That same staff member did also note that "There will be an official announcement regarding unofficial support for Wine.
If you really want to try it out, again I wouldn't suggest so (really just wait until it hits stable Roblox), but it is possible if you use Vinegar linked above.
You will need to switch it over to the zcanary update branch and use Vulkan, which you can do via this in terminal:
After that you'll be able to just login on the website, and run games or use the Vinegar Roblox App it gives you.
