Linux Computer Use 0.1.1 fixes duplicate skill discovery after updates and brings the downloadable preview up to date with the 20-tool runtime.

Changes

  • Updates create verified, owner-only .tar.gz backups under the XDG data directory instead of leaving discoverable copies beside active skills.
  • Existing installer-created skill backup directories migrate automatically during ./install.sh --update. User files, permissions and symlinks are preserved.
  • Native relative pointer input supports locked-pointer 3D camera controls on KWin, wlroots, X11 and RemoteDesktop portals.
  • The installer, container image version, README and architecture diagram now match this preview.

Install or update

Download linux-computer-use-0.1.1.tar.gz and SHA256SUMS, then:

sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS
tar -xzf linux-computer-use-0.1.1.tar.gz
cd linux-computer-use-0.1.1
./install.sh --dry-run
./install.sh --update

For a first installation, omit --update. Review the detection output; dependency installation and container builds remain explicit options. Git is not required after extraction.

Validation

  • 14 installer contracts and seven input contracts passed.
  • Actual SteamOS installation updated and its duplicate skill backup migrated; one discoverable skill remains.
  • Installed native KWin and rootless container Sway launchers passed real GTK/MCP tests: 20 tools, Unicode input, changed screenshot and exit.
  • Historical Ubuntu 24.04 Sway and Xvfb CI passed for this release commit; its reviewed results remain in the validation record.
  • Archive checksums, reproducible packaging, installation and update without Git metadata verified.

This remains a preview. The first container startup attempt timed out; a subsequent full GUI test and five startup checks passed. The GUI container run also logged a Python shutdown cleanup warning despite exiting successfully and removing the container. These observations are retained in the validation record. Omarchy workstation acceptance and comparative macOS/Windows performance measurements remain pending.
