OpenAI announced the release of a dedicated ChatGPT desktop app for Linux operating systems this week, fulfilling a highly requested feature from the open-source developer community. The app, available in preview, supports various distributions including Ubuntu 24.04 and 26.04 LTS, Debian 13, and Fedora 43 and 44, and is a worldwide release. This move brings ChatGPT, ChatGPT Work, and Codex to Linux users, though it follows Anthropic's Claude desktop app for Linux, which launched about a month prior.
