Why is this written in electron?
Because apparently ChatGPT is not able to generate native apps, so desktop developers are safe. /s

#202The most remarkable things about this announcement: - Electron based app: Electron is a framework sold on the basis of enabling rapid cross-platform development at the cost of performance. - Frontier AI company: AI is sold on the basis of enabling rapid development - App was released in February & took 6 entire months to port to Linux
I guess it's easier to solve Erdos problems and improve the lower bound of the Riemann hypothesis, than it is to solve Linux desktop app distribution.
Yeah idk what OpenAI was thinking. Just going off their own claims… OpenAI must be filled with bozos to not be able to utilize their own supposed product capabilities…

Same with Anthropic and their "support" team, which seems to be Claude 0.1 run on a commodore 64 in the basement...

I have a codex cli instance on a Debian VM connected to ChatGPT on iOS via SSH. That works since.. about a month and has pretty good UX. Before, I used the shellfish terminal and tmux which also worked really good, but to be honest (even though I'm a big terminal fan), ChatGPT on iOS sometimes has a smoother UX than a terminal.
Are you sure ChatGPT on IOS connects directly to the VM? Or via a desktop as the middle man sitting somewhere? If you really only use ChatGPT on IOS and a VM and nothing else, then I would be curious how you set that up. I do not see a "connect to codex via ssh" in my ChatGPT app. I only see "Connect to a desktop". Oh HOLY MOLY! Now I see there is not only a "Remote" section in the app but also a "Connection" section…
You're welcome(;
Also for future readers: Yes, I'm sure there's no desktop app in the middle. I have dedicated remote VMs that run agents. I don't have them running on the desktop, not even as a middle man.

Yeah, but if you use Qt like I did, you're shipping libstdc++, some other crap and Qt.
Yeah, I was kind of surprised recently that there's no solid native way to build desktop apps on Linux! I was thinking I'd build something actually native with AI but then the options were QT or or gtk...
Well what does native mean? An XWindow? Native on gnome is different from native on kde or xfce or lxde…

#206I find it almost funny how hostile the response is when a company actually goes through the effort of supporting Linux. Apparently shipping the Linux version is only step one, you also need to pick the right framework, use the right packaging, consume the right amount of RAM, and preferably rewrite it natively.

#207Does this mean it's a matter of time until I can deploy codex on my raspberry pi now?

#208Sitting at 2.2GB of combined resident RAM across 11 processes. I haven't done a single query yet.
But you might. And Codex is taking your threats seriously and stand prepared in case you breach protocol and start using your computer resources for your own nefarious purpose.
These apps stands as last defense between users and legitimate owners of compute resources that is electron and pals.

It’s almost like we Linux users are opinionated about software. Weird.

A challenge of releasing tech on a platform of people that are picky about tech.
