OPENAI 🔥: Codex app is now finally available on Linux! > Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and 26.04 LTS, Debian 13, Fedora 43 and 44 are officially supported. > Computer Use is not available there yet 👀

Linux users finally got invited to the party 😭

Debian 13 and Fedora 44 day-one support is the real signal here. Most 'agentic coding' launches quietly mean 'works on my Ubuntu VM' — this one didn't cut corners on the actual dev fleet.

Good start. Now bring Computer Use to Linux too.

Computer Use missing on Linux is the interesting part. That's where most dev servers and CI runners actually live, so the use case that would benefit most from it is exactly what's being held back

So... Half baked app after so much wait

Finally Linux users get the full experience. We actually broke down the full launch here:

OpenAI's official ChatGPT Linux Desktop preview application works on your Kali GNU/Linux Rolling 2026.2 system in terms of basic developer workflow, even if Kali isn't on the official list of supported systems.🐧#linux #OPENAI #CHATGPT

Computer Use is going to be big when available. That feature needs screen access and OS-level permissions, which is exactly the stuff that's messiest to get right on Linux first.

@thsottiaux it's time for rest

Linux users finally got invited to the party… just not the Computer Use room yet 😭

good it landed, though only specific distro versions are supported so check your setup's actually on that list first. no computer use yet is the real gap, that's the feature a lot of people were actually waiting for
