OpenAI has officially launched a desktop version of ChatGPT for Linux, extending support for the chatbot across all major desktop operating systems.
The preview release, announced on Tuesday, follows longstanding requests from the Linux community for a native desktop application.
The company said the new app allows Linux users to access ChatGPT, ChatGPT Work and Codex directly from their desktops.
“Linux has been one of the most-requested platforms for the desktop app, and this launch extends ChatGPT and Codex across every major desktop operating system,” OpenAI said.
The application supports desktop versions of Ubuntu 24.04 and 26.04 LTS, Debian 13, Fedora 43 and Fedora 44. OpenAI noted that other Linux distributions derived from these operating systems are also expected to be compatible.
The worldwide rollout places OpenAI alongside Anthropic, which introduced a Linux desktop application for Claude last month.
