OpenAI has launched a dedicated desktop app for ChatGPT specifically designed for Linux users, including those on popular distributions such as Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora. This new app, currently in its preview stage, integrates ChatGPT and Codex, enhancing the capabilities available for Linux operating systems.
Linux has become increasingly attractive to users looking to escape privacy issues associated with Microsoft’s Windows OS, leading to a notable migration towards it. As demand rises, Linux has gained traction as a preferred choice for AI applications, including those from OpenAI. The launch of the ChatGPT app underscores OpenAI’s effort to pursue the concept of a "super app," which aims to centralize various AI functionalities, including chat, coding, and browsing.
The supported Linux distributions for the app include Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and 26.04 LTS, Debian 13, and Fedora 43 and 44. Despite the relatively small number of officially supported versions, the app can potentially run on other compatible distros that share similar package support. The installation is available through .deb or .rpm packages, catering to both x64 and ARM64 architectures.
This official release marks a departure from the unofficial options previously available, providing users access to essential functionalities of ChatGPT and Codex. Those who subscribe to higher tiers like ChatGPT Plus will also receive access to the advanced ChatGPT Work feature, introduced alongside the latest enhancements in version 5.6.
Additionally, users of another AI solution, Claude, will be glad to know that a beta version of its Linux app has been available since June for selected distributions.
