OpenAI launches ChatGPT desktop app for Linux
OpenAI has released a dedicated ChatGPT desktop application for Linux, supporting major distributions like Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora. This move follows similar releases for other operating systems and aims to satisfy demand from the open-source developer community.
Why it matters
Expanding AI accessibility to the Linux ecosystem allows a broader range of developers and power users to integrate ChatGPT into their workflows.
ChatGPT is on desktops across the world, but there’s been one place where it’s been lacking: the Linux community. Certain sectors of the open source developer community have been clamoring for OpenAI to bring its chatbot to their neck of the woods.
As of this week, OpenAI has rectified this oversight, launching a dedicated ChatGPT app for Linux.
“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,” the company said Tuesday.
The new app, which is being released in preview, will give Linux users the ability to use ChatGPT, ChatGPT Work, and Codex on a number of different distributions. The release is worldwide, as of Tuesday.
