Well, shit. Unfortunate news from the Vinegar Discord: Roblox will block Wine in future releases.

This is going to end my “Steam Deck as a primary desktop PC for my kid” experiment.

      It’s an extremely popular platform for kids, and I think anything that will get kids trying Linux instead of windows is something we should want working.

    How do you even block wine? It’s a compatibility layer? Even if you block it someone will just add a fix to get around it eventually won’t they?

      I do not know, but the Vinegar people give it straight:

      Also last time around Wine support was broken for like 6 months and no one found a workaround. It was Roblox devs who re-enabled it later.
