Linear for linux

A linux port of linear.app

GH-rel ver

Install

Requires sudo (for sandbox helper, desktop entry, and icons).

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kleo-dev/linear-linux/refs/heads/master/installer.sh | bash

The installer:

  • Downloads the AppImage, extracts it under /opt/linear-linux-<version>, and wires up the chrome-sandbox helper correctly.
  • Installs a wrapper at /usr/local/bin/linear, a desktop entry, and the Linear icon into the system icon cache.
  • Accepts overrides: VERSION=0.2.3 APPIMAGE_URL=<url> INSTALL_ROOT=/opt ./installer.sh

Development:

  • npm start launches Electron with sandbox disabled for local runs (packaged builds use the proper setuid helper).
  • npm run build produces an AppImage that bundles the Linear brand assets for the desktop icon.
