A practical setup guide for running Kaizo on Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora, or Debian with glibc 2.35+. Covers X11 and Wayland, Hyprland, Secure Boot, TPM, Sober prerequisites, and a step-by-step install path.
Kazio is a Linux Roblox external built for Sober. This guide walks through installing it on Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora, and Debian and getting the overlay running on X11 or Wayland, including under Hyprland and other tiling window managers. It targets the setup mistakes that produce “missing dependency” errors, which is the most common reason a clean install fails on Linux.
Before you start, confirm two things. You need a 64-bit Linux system with glibc 2.35 or newer, and you need Sober installed and running so Roblox itself works on Linux. Kaizo attaches to that running game and draws the overlay, so get Sober working first.
glibc 2.35 is the baseline for Kaizo. Older releases, notably Ubuntu 22.04 which ships 2.35, are fine, but some long-term-support distros skimp on this. If your loader fails with a “version GLIBC_2.35’ not found” style error, this is the cause.
Run this in a terminal to check:
ldd --version | head -n 1If the version is below 2.35, upgrade the distro release. Do not try to hack around it by hand-copying newer glibc libraries into the system; that breaks far more than it fixes. A distro upgrade is the clean path.
Kaizo runs on every mainline distro that meets the baseline: Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Arch, Fedora, Debian, openSUSE, Pop!_OS, Manjaro, EndeavourOS, and similar. The install steps vary by package manager, so choose the section for your distro below.
Ubuntu and Debian use apt. Open a terminal and run:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install unzip curlDownload the Kaizo archive from your product page and extract it. Because everything is in your home directory, there is no root step for the software itself. Keep the extracted folder somewhere you will not clean up, since the loader reads from it on each launch.
Arch, Manjaro, and EndeavourOS use pacman. Install the same prerequisites:
sudo pacman -Syu
sudo pacman -S unzip curlThe -Syu matters more than it looks. Arch rolls continuously, and a stale glibc from an unupdated system is a common source of hard-to-read failures. Update fully before the first launch.
Fedora uses dnf:
sudo dnf install unzip curlopenSUSE uses zypper:
sudo zypper install unzip curlBoth ship recent glibc, so version conflicts here are rare. The overlay needs unzip only at extraction time; once the files are out, you do not need it again.
Secure Boot and driver signature enforcement are the two settings that stop external software on modern systems. Kaizo is external and attaches to the game with an overlay, but it still loads into your session, and on some firmware configurations that trips Secure Boot.
Check the current state from Linux rather than guessing. Run:
mokutil --sb-stateIf it reports SecureBoot enabled and the loader will not start, you have two options. You can disable Secure Boot in UEFI, or you can enroll a Machine Owner Key if your distro offers that path. Disabling Secure Boot in the firmware setup is the simpler route for most users. TPM does not block this software, so leave TPM alone.
Kazio draws an overlay, and the display server controls how that overlay renders. Both X11 and Wayland are supported on standard desktops like KDE Plasma, GNOME, Cinnamon, and XFCE.
Wayland compositors are stricter about overlay stacking. If the menu does not appear on top of the game on Wayland, try running the same desktop session on X11 from the login screen. Most distros keep both available. This is a quick test that resolves many “menu renders but is hidden” reports.
Hyprland, niri, Sway, and river are supported. Tiling managers handle overlay windows differently from floating desktops, so expect to set the Kaizo window to float and, on Hyprland, to give it a rule so it stacks over Roblox. On a floating desktop none of this is needed.
ldd --version | head -n 1 and confirm it is 2.35 or newer.The step where most people go wrong is the order: they start Kaizo before Sober and Roblox have a window up. Launch the game first, let a server load, then start the loader. If ESP shows nothing, a fresh game session usually fixes it.
The overlay menu itself is proof the setup succeeded. Beyond that, join a server, confirm the player list populates, then toggle ESP and check that boxes and names track players. Aimbot settings appear in the same menu, so verify the FOV circle renders when you enable it.
If the menu opens but ESP shows no targets, the most likely cause is an empty server or a game the current build does not read cleanly. Try Rivals or Phantom Forces, which are both supported.
For product-specific questions like build compatibility and the latest supported Roblox version, check the product page before you buy. The store’s published requirements and the current listing are the authoritative source.
Using Kaizo violates Roblox’s terms of service. Detection can result in a permanent ban of the game account, and in some titles a hardware or account-family ban. Use it at your own risk, on an account you can afford to lose. A secondary account is strongly recommended.
No cheat, including this one, is permanently undetected. Detection status is a snapshot that changes with each Roblox update.
All purchases are final and non-refundable. The store may refund for system incompatibility, but refunds are not guaranteed after a ban, an account suspension, or an accidental purchase. Read the full refund policy on the product page before buying.
If your system meets the glibc baseline and Sober runs, Kaizo installs cleanly on Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora, and Debian. Check your environment against the steps above and pick up the Linux Roblox cheat for Sober from the product page, where the exact supported build and current price are listed.
