Grok Bot for Linux: Unofficial port of the official app (open source)
An open-source developer has created an unofficial Linux port for the Grok Bot desktop application. The project allows users to run the tool on Linux systems by wrapping the official Electron app and replacing Windows-specific dependencies.
Why it matters
This highlights the demand for cross-platform support in AI tools and the role of the open-source community in filling gaps left by official software vendors.
Unofficial Ubuntu/Linux build of the Grok Bot desktop app.
Cursor ships Grok Bot for macOS and Windows only. This repo does the same thing the Codex Mac-to-Linux port did: take the official Electron app, put it on a Linux Electron runtime, and replace the Windows-only native addons.
It is not an xAI or Cursor product. Linux is unsupported by them.
The official Grok Bot UI — bots, the shared computer, sign-in with your Cursor account — running as a native Linux app. No Wine.
Current target: Grok Bot 0.29.0 on Electron 42.1.0 (x86_64).
