Linux Computer Use 0.1.0 · Preview
Pre-releaseLinux Computer Use gives an agent a native Linux desktop through 19 shared MCP and JSON CLI tools. Private sessions keep the agent’s display, focus and clipboard separate from the user’s desktop.
This is the first preview. It remains available as a historical release; use 0.2.0 for the live viewer and subsequent installer fixes.
Included
- Native KWin, KDE portal, Hyprland/Sway and X11 input/capture paths.
- AT-SPI accessibility, Unicode input, scaled screenshot coordinates, cancellation and crash cleanup.
- A universal per-user installer with distro/DE/Omarchy/immutable detection, native/container routing, explicit dependency recipes, transactional updates and manifest-checked removal.
- A rootless graphical container runtime for immutable desktops.
- English and French documentation, real GUI evidence, original generated masthead, architecture diagram and contributor guides.
Validation
- Thirteen-report original Linux E2E baseline.
- Full installed-skill MCP/GUI suites on independent Ubuntu 24.04 GitHub Actions runners, using Sway and Xvfb.
- Ten installer contract tests and six runtime/transport contract tests.
- Actual native and container launcher acceptance tests on SteamOS.
- Extracted source archive, checksum manifest, standalone installation and native GTK/MCP acceptance test.
Omarchy physical-workstation acceptance remains pending. No macOS/Windows performance comparison is claimed.

./install.shRead the installation guide for missing native dependencies or --runtime container --build-container. The archive requires system Python 3.10+; Git is not required after extraction. The container image is built locally rather than downloaded from a registry maintained by this project.
Historical preview. Physical-workstation validation remains limited to the published evidence.
