Installation from source
Unless you have a good reason not to use it, it is strongly recommended to install Vinegar using Flatpak.
Running Vinegar and Roblox without Flatpak is prone to issues such as an incorrect Wine build, missing libraries, or improper configuration/installation.
Configuring things properly is possible, but involves effort and debugging if Roblox doesn’t work out of the box. That’s why using Flatpak is recommended; it sets up and configures everything automatically, so it has the best chance of working smoothly the first time without needing any adjustments.
Please verify that you pass the minimum system requirements before starting any installation.
