Sober Troubleshooting - Vinegar

[swarfendor437]

Did a search on security issues using Brave A.I. search engine and get:

" Roblox on Linux currently operates through community-developed tools like Sober and Vinegar , which allow the game to run via compatibility layers. However, Roblox has intentionally blocked Wine and Proton due to security concerns tied to its Byfron anti-cheat system , which detects and crashes processes it deems compromised—such as those running under Wine or virtual machines.

While Sober is currently functional and widely used, Roblox has made it clear that it does not intend to support Linux for the Roblox Player in the near future. The company prioritizes security and data integrity, especially after past exploits that leveraged Wine-based environments. As a result, any workaround involving Wine is unstable and may lead to account bans if suspicious behavior is detected.

Security risks are generally low when using official tools like Sober, as long as you avoid unofficial hacks, modified clients, or third-party scripts from untrusted sources. Running Roblox under a dedicated user account and using Flatpak or containerized runners adds an extra layer of isolation.

Safe practices : Use Sober or Vinegar , avoid modified clients, run under a standard user account, and keep your system updated.
Risks : Using experimental Wine forks, cheat tools, or unverified scripts can trigger anti-cheat detection and lead to bans.

Roblox Studio remains functional on Linux, though it may experience instability after updates. The company has stated that Linux support is a priority but not currently feasible due to technical and security challenges.

It could be also related to the infamous kernel 6.17, plus if you are using the Wayland protocol which Zorin defaults to:

" * Switch to Xorg session instead of Wayland (in login screen) to avoid Sober freezes.

• Ensure Sober is updated to the latest version (1.5.5+), as recent builds include stability fixes for Ubuntu 24.04.
• Check network connectivity — some crashes are due to Sober failing to reach Roblox servers, especially if using tools like zapret .

Immediate action : Boot into the older 6.14 kernel via GRUB, then fix the 6.17 kernel issues. Use sudo update-grub after resolving package conflicts."

Please note Zorin 18 is a fork of Ubuntu 24.04.
