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.

This is still a work-in-progress and was mostly made for fun. All it does is read from a list of files in ~/.config/rblx_launcher/ and display them to be clicked, launching xdg-open with the placeId.

The files (friends.txt and games.txt) are formatted like so:

Awesome! Just wondering, how are you actually launching Roblox? The last time I tried, it said Wine isn’t compatible.

[–] ccf@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

It's using Sober, which uses the Android version of the game so it doesn't have to go through WINE. It doesn't currently work right now, but they're planning on bringing back functionality hopefully on April 5th

It looks a lot better than current Roblox launcher, good job. Will you want some assistance in translation? I could translate it to polish

[–] ccf@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't have any plans currently to do translation, but I'll keep this in mind if I ever figure it out

Alright, will you also want some help with beta testing? I could give you my thoughts

[–] ccf@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'd love it if you could give me any feedback! Sorry about the somewhat janky build process right now though, I didn't plan too much around builds working on computers other than my own

Should I also enter catalogue of cloned repo and then build inside it?

[–] ccf@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

You would have to clone the submodules, clay and raylib, as well. Raylib has to be built, but for clay it just has to be cloned for the clay.h file

I thought Roblox didn't work on Linux anymore

[–] Mwa@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago

I assume it's using sober?
