Welcome to TuxBlox

TuxBlox runs Roblox Studio (and, soon, Roblox Player) on Linux. It runs the real, official Roblox program, not a copy or a reimplementation, and it does it without Windows, without a virtual machine, and without WSL.

If you have ten minutes and a terminal, you can be in Studio by the end of this page's next two links.

What you get

Easy setup One command installs everything. Updates install themselves after that.
Built for Roblox The compatibility layer is tuned for Roblox specifically, not for Windows software in general.
A real launcher Settings, FastFlags and Roblox version management in one window, instead of config files.
Desktop integration roblox: links open in TuxBlox, and .rbxl files open in Studio, just like on Windows.
Free and open source GPLv3 for TuxBlox's own code. Read it, change it, build it yourself.

Where to start

If you are new here, read these in order:

  1. System Requirements, to check your computer can run it.
  2. Installing TuxBlox, to get it set up.
  3. Your First Launch, to know what to expect the first time.

Curious about the machinery? How TuxBlox Works explains it without assuming you know what Wine is.

Already installed and something is wrong? Start at Common Problems.

How this documentation is organised

  • Getting Started covers installing and first use.
  • Using TuxBlox walks through the launcher, one tab at a time.
  • Advanced is for people who want command line flags, environment variables and file paths.
  • Troubleshooting is for when something breaks.
  • Development is for building TuxBlox yourself and contributing to it.

You do not need to read the Advanced section to use TuxBlox. Nothing in it is required.
