./fastflags
Bloxstrap's exact JSON format, so the flag lists people already share paste straight in. Invalid JSON is caught before it ever reaches Sober.

you@pigmentlab:~$ cat ./why-sober.md
# three facts, in order — the whole reason Pigment exists
- 01
Wine is blocked
Roblox's Hyperion anti-cheat rejects the Windows client under Wine. The way that used to work doesn't anymore.
- 02
Sober runs the Android client
VinegarHQ's Sober runs Roblox's Android build natively on your desktop. It's the one path that still works — and it works well.
- 03
Sober has no front end
Every setting is a key in a JSON file you edit by hand. FastFlags, mods and profiles are yours to manage in a text editor. That's the gap.
you@pigmentlab:~$ ls ~/pigment/features
# 6 entries — everything Sober keeps in JSON
./settings
A real, typed control for every key in Sober's config — not a text field and a prayer.
every key
./profiles
Main, alt, testing. Named setups applied one at a time, automatically on launch.
auto-apply
./mods
File overlays through Sober's sanctioned asset overlay, validated against the real Roblox asset tree so a typo can't silently do nothing.
apk-validated
./launcher
Opt-in, reversible takeover of roblox:// links, so clicking Play
applies your profile before Sober starts.

./activity
What you played, resolved from Sober's logs — plus Discord Rich Presence if you want it.

Pigment doesn't reimplement the runtime. It drives Sober as-is, reading and writing the same config Sober already uses — so you can stop using Pigment at any time and nothing breaks.

One script: apt dependencies, a version check that fails fast on
releases too old to build, rustup, then Pigment and Sober. No .deb.
