Source: https://learn.chatgpt.com/docs/linux/linux-app The ChatGPT desktop app for Linux is available in preview. Install the package for your Linux distribution and processor architecture, then sign in with your ChatGPT account to work with projects, local files, and Codex.
The preview supports the desktop versions of these Linux distributions:
- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and 26.04 LTS
- Debian 13
- Fedora 43 and 44
- Arch Linux (current, fully updated rolling releases)
Each supported distribution has packages for x64 and ARM64 processors. To check your processor architecture, run:
uname -m
The outputx86\_64identifies an x64 processor. The outputaarch64orarm64identifies an ARM64 processor.

sudo bash install-arch.sh
The script detects your architecture, configures the signed OpenAI package repository, and installs ChatGPT. Installation performs a full system upgrade and prompts for confirmation.

Installation configures a signed OpenAI package repository. Use your distribution’s package manager to install later updates.
On Ubuntu or Debian, run:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install --only-upgrade chatgpt
On Fedora, run:
sudo dnf upgrade --refresh chatgpt
On Arch Linux, update the app as part of a full system upgrade:
sudo pacman -Syu
The preview supports the desktop distributions listed inSupported distributions and architectures. Other Linux distributions may work but aren’t formally supported.
Some features have separate platform requirements. For example,Computer Useis available on macOS and Windows but not yet in the Linux preview. A future release will add Linux support.
Native Wayland support is experimental and will continue to improve. In a Wayland session, the app uses XWayland when available. To explicitly select native Wayland, fully quit the app and launch it from a terminal:
chatgpt --ozone-platform=wayland
Some features, such as floating windows, window positioning, focus, and keyboard shortcuts, may not fully work while native Wayland support matures.
