[Feature Request] Linux support for Claude Desktop App, Dispatch, and CoWork

Summary

Linux users on paid Claude plans (Pro, Teams, Enterprise) cannot access several major features that are exclusive to macOS or the desktop app:

• Claude Desktop App — macOS and Windows only, no Linux build
• Dispatch — requires the desktop app, therefore unavailable on Linux
• CoWork — macOS only

These aren't minor conveniences — they represent core product capabilities that paying Linux customers are excluded from despite identical subscription costs.

Why this matters

Linux is overrepresented in the Claude Code user base

Claude Code is a CLI-first tool. Its power users are developers, DevOps engineers, SREs, and systems programmers — demographics that skew heavily toward Linux as a primary development environment. Many of us chose Claude Code because it meets us where we work: the terminal.

Feature parity isn't a nice-to-have

When new capabilities like Dispatch (autonomous background agents) and CoWork (collaborative multi-agent workflows) launch as platform-exclusive, it creates a two-tier customer experience. Linux users pay the same but receive less. Over time this erodes trust and pushes users toward competitors who treat all platforms equally.

The technical barriers are low

• Electron apps run on Linux. If the desktop app is Electron-based (or similar), Linux builds are a configuration change, not a rewrite.
• Claude Code already runs on Linux. The CLI, the core agent loop, MCP servers, hooks — all work. The infrastructure is there.
• Dispatch could work through the CLI. Background agent orchestration doesn't inherently require a GUI. A CLI-native or web-based interface would serve Linux users and arguably be more aligned with how power users prefer to work.

Suggested approaches

1. Ship Linux builds of the desktop app — if it's Electron/Tauri, this is straightforward
2. Make Dispatch available via CLI or web — claude dispatch as a subcommand, or through claude.ai/code
3. Expose CoWork through the web app — claude.ai already exists as a cross-platform surface

Request

Please prioritize Linux as a first-class platform for new feature launches, not an afterthought. The community of Linux developers using Claude Code is large, vocal, and willing to help test.

At minimum, publish a public roadmap item so Linux users know whether support is planned, and can make informed decisions about their subscriptions.
