Looks interesting but like every single one of these computer use apps I've seen, it's macOS only. Does anyone know of a linux one?

- Zetaphor 6mo agoI don't think the accessibility story on Linux is comprehensive enough to make this possible unfortunately. Especially with Wayland. One advantage Mac apps have is they're all targeting the same underlying OS primitives, which is the layer their accessibility platform lives at.
- tuukkah 6mo agoQuote from a sibling comment: - macOS: Accessibility API - Windows: UI Automation - Linux: AT-SPI
- Arainach 6mo agoThe levels of support are radically different. Compositors, window managers, UI frameworks, and apps all have mixed and inconsistent levels of support such that the overall experience is that you simply cannot rely on using a Linux system via accessibility.
- gvkhna 6mo agoUnfortunately AT-SPI support is very hit or miss, mostly miss. To get it useable for this required a huge amount of modification. See my other comment for context.
- 9879875665876 6mo agoThere is AT-SPI2: https://invent.kde.org/sdk/selenium-webdriver-at-spi https://invent.kde.org/sdk/selenium-webdriver-at-spi
- Zetaphor 6mo agoI'm a heavy Linux user interested in accessibility and I didn't even know this existed.
- gvkhna 6mo agoBuilt this but not open source because it’s more designed for the bot evasion/stealth market. But it’s designed to let ai control the real browser without cdp. So no chromium forks/nothing to “detect.”
