Does anyone know what technology is used to create this flatpak? Is it archon? Or else?

    It sounds custom but similar to wine, since the website alludes to a compatibility layer (translation) for the Android version of the game. My guess is a completely custom android / java runtime that is built specifically for Roblox and translating the necessary android specific calls to Linux.

    Theyre kind of just black boxing what theyre actually doing. The reason the devs are giving is so it doesnt get blocked by roblox like Grapejuice, Vinegar, and the other one did. I dont entirely trust it myself but I do use it because the alternative is having the overhead of waydroid drop the frames real bad. I dont spend money on the platform so, I have nothing to lose other than my username. They do say that they use the Android libraries of the app in some way but you really just have to take their word on what theyre doing.

      Whatever they do it’s done prettey well, so that a droid store for Linux is now possible similar to the one deepin Linux has (or had), or like fydeOS/ChromeOS do. I tried uegine runner and spark waydroid runner but those are not very clear packages

      I installed but didnt unpack it actually. I was surprised even controllers are recognised. Did you understand what’s inside? Since it’s closed source I didnt even bother trying to understand that from the flatpack alone
