I tried the new ChatGPT Desktop App for Linux - but I'll stick to my browser for now
This preview release of ChatGPT Desktop for Linux supports Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora is here.
I recently tested OpenAI's new ChatGPT Desktop App for Linux, but I find it lacking compared to using the browser version. While it's available on major desktop operating systems and integrates Codex with ChatGPT, I encountered inaccuracies when asking the app for technical specifications of SpaceX and Nvidia's Starmind AI datacenter satellites.
Additionally, despite being open-source on some platforms, this Linux version is proprietary and closed-source, which may deter open-source developers. The app consolidates ChatGPT, ChatGPT Work, and Codex to serve as a workspace for projects, files, and browser workflows. For developers, it offers coding capabilities, inline diff editing, and pull-request review. However, I'm hesitant to grant the app access to my local files, applications, and personal data.
