Why it matters
A Linux desktop build closes the gap left by the October Windows, macOS, and Web launch, so the same Rust codebase and Office-matching rendering now cover the major desktop environments.

Windows, macOS, and Web versions arrived on October 12, 2026. The Linux build supports Wayland and X11 and runs on the same Rust code across all platforms.
The Linux build ships as an AppImage that needs no installation and no FUSE, extracting itself on first launch and verifying updates with SHA-256. The Flatpak build uses the application ID jp.ne.ibis.ibisOffice, ships no external shared libraries, and covers both x86_64 and aarch64. The AppImage targets glibc 2.31 or later on 64-bit x86_64.
Ibis measures the file-open-to-first-screen time on Linux at up to 12.9 times faster than LibreOffice for spreadsheets and 24.0 times faster for a 1-million-row CSV. Rendering uses the GPU, and command-line PNG and PDF export via --export is included.
