From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Roblox recently released an update that caused freezes on the desktop app. Some cannot open Roblox while others experience crashes after a few minutes of playing. This seems to be caused by a change in their anti-cheat engine, as Windows users with BitDefender experienced the exact same issue.

If you are using Linux and have installed Vinegar from Flathub to run Roblox, you can follow these steps to work around this bug.

  1. Open the terminal. You can find it in your app drawer.

  2. Paste flatpak run io.github.vinegarhq.Vinegar edit and press enter on your keyboard.

  3. A text editor will open on the terminal. You can move the cursor by using the arrow keys. Paste the following into the bottom of the file using Ctrl+Shift+V (Ctrl+V is not used for pasting by the terminal). If the [player] line already exists (e.g. you have modified it before already), only add/replace the channel line under it.

[player]
channel = "zavatarteam2"
  1. Save the file by pressing Ctrl+O and Enter, then Ctrl+X to exit.

You can then open "Roblox App (Vinegar)" on your app drawer to play Roblox as usual.
