feat(desktop): Linux AppImage polish — window controls, updater UX, docs (#2144)
* feat(electron): add Linux AppImage releases * ci: cache Linux OpenCode CLI artifacts * fix(ci): await Linux release inventory check * fix(electron): add frameless window controls on Linux desktop Linux AppImages were created without native WM decorations and without in-app controls, leaving users unable to close the window with a mouse. Treat Linux like Windows: frameless BrowserWindow plus the existing WindowsWindowControls header buttons and app-menu entry. macOS keeps hidden title bar with traffic lights unchanged. Shared usesFramelessElectronChrome() helper drives main window, mini chat, header insets, and titlebar controls. Co-authored-by: Serhii Dziupin <makeittech@users.noreply.github.com> * feat(desktop): add configurable window controls position by OS Add desktopWindowControlsPosition setting (auto/left/right) with OS-aware defaults: Linux left, Windows right. Wire frameless chrome controls in Header, TitlebarLeftControls, and MiniChatLayout, plus a Sessions settings control for Windows and Linux desktop shells. Co-authored-by: Serhii Dziupin <makeittech@users.noreply.github.com> * fix(desktop): address Linux AppImage release review findings Propagate updater capability errors to the UI, treat missing latest-linux.yml feeds as no-update, stop installed-apps IPC spam on Linux, document FUSE/AppImage limits, add CHANGELOG entry, migrate remaining btriapitsyn URLs, and run Electron Linux unit tests on PRs.

|
||||
|
||||
Download the latest Desktop release from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/openchamber/openchamber/releases).
|
||||
|
||||
On Linux, choose the AppImage for your system:
|
||||
|
||||
- `linux-x86_64.AppImage` for 64-bit Intel or AMD systems
|
||||
- `linux-arm64.AppImage` for ARM64/aarch64 systems
|
||||
|
||||
Make the AppImage executable before launching it, for example with `chmod +x <downloaded-appimage>`. Keep the AppImage in a location your user can write to so OpenChamber can download and apply in-app updates.
|
||||
|
||||
Linux AppImages need FUSE (`libfuse.so.2`). On Ubuntu/Debian install `libfuse2` (or `fuse` / `libfuse2t64` on newer releases). If FUSE is unavailable, run with extraction instead:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
APPIMAGE_EXTRACT_AND_RUN=1 ./OpenChamber-*-linux-*.AppImage
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Linux Desktop ships as AppImage with in-app window controls and auto-update when running from a writable AppImage. System tray and launch-at-login are not available on Linux yet (macOS/Windows only).
