Unofficial ChatGPT desktop app for Linux (formerly the Codex app), built locally from OpenAI’s official macOS app. Includes Chat, Work, and Codex. Packages for Debian/Ubuntu (.deb), Fedora/openSUSE (.rpm), Arch (pacman), Nix/NixOS, and AppImage, with Wayland and X11 support.
codex-desktop is an unofficial, community-maintained Linux distribution of OpenAI’s ChatGPT desktop application, packaged for several Linux formats and desktop environments. Linux users install it to access Chat, Work, and Codex through a desktop app built from the signed upstream Linux payload. Its catalogue skills, agents, instructions, and MCP integration extend workflows around the application.
This repository also configures its own agents. See what codex-desktop-linux tells them →
