On August 12, 2026, OpenAI officially unveiled the ChatGPT Linux desktop preview edition, seamlessly integrating ChatGPT, ChatGPT Work, and Codex into a unified application. This edition caters to both x64 and ARM64 architectures, providing DEB and RPM installation packages for easy setup. It is fully compatible with mainstream Linux distributions, including Ubuntu 24.04 and 26.04 LTS, Debian 13, as well as Fedora 43 and 44. The Codex feature stands out by enabling direct manipulation of local code repositories, eliminating the need to upload them to the cloud, thus perfectly aligning with developers' requirements. However, it's worth noting that some functionalities of this preview edition are still undergoing refinement to match the full capabilities of the macOS and Windows versions.
