I've been using Sober for about a year to play Roblox with my daughters. It's been a seamless experience, except for about a week that I was getting Verification Captchas every time we joined a game. That was resolved when I updated the flatpak. I love projects like this!

Seems closed source... bold choice to use this.

Very nice, but sadly almost useless by being closed source. If you are the kind of person using Linux, you might be sensitive to run "closed source" binaries from random sources, especially for shaddy stuffs like trying to run a game in an unofficial way. But I was so annoyed by my kid not being able to use Linux if they wanted to play that game, that I could have easily paid for a working solution.
