Important
ChatGPT for Linux is retired and unsupported. This repository no longer produces maintained builds, releases, updates, security fixes, or user support. Do not install or update ChatGPT from this repository. Its remaining closeout work is limited to preserving the public record and archiving the repository; the retirement posture is read-only even before GitHub's archive switch is applied.
Use OpenAI's official ChatGPT application for Linux or a distribution package whose provenance you independently accept.
On CachyOS, this project's accepted replacement is the repository-signed
chatgpt-desktop-bin native repackage. Its recipe and payload were compared
with OpenAI's signed Linux package, and its essential behavior was accepted on
the transition host. It now follows ordinary unpinned pacman upgrades. This is
operational evidence for that CachyOS package, not a claim that OpenAI supports
Arch Linux or CachyOS.
The complete decision record is in the official-app parity audit. The retained fallback and recovery evidence follow the separate rollback-retention boundary.
This repository is a historical source and review record for a DMG-based Linux
adaptation. It converted the official OpenAI ChatGPT macOS app locally and
layered the chatgpt identity, distro-shaped packaging, updater policy,
hardening, and runtime polish over the Linux conversion work from
ilysenko/codex-desktop-linux.
It did not redistribute the official OpenAI app bundle.
The retirement record explains the final support boundary, disabled maintenance automation, unresolved security risk, retained research, and downstream M3/M4 cleanup ownership. The documentation index routes readers through the remaining historical material.
This tracker is not accepting new bug reports, feature requests, package requests, updater requests, or compatibility work.
- Problems that reproduce in OpenAI's official app belong with OpenAI Support.
- Codex CLI problems that reproduce independently of this retired wrapper belong in OpenAI's Codex repository.
- Linux conversion work that reproduces in the Linux-port upstream belongs in
ilysenko/codex-desktop-linux, subject to that project's own support policy.
Do not present behavior unique to this repository as an OpenAI or Linux-port upstream defect.
ChatGPT for Linux is an unofficial community project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or supported by OpenAI. OpenAI owns ChatGPT, Codex, the official app, and the OpenAI-hosted services referenced by this source.
