@vman,

Sorry to hear that.

Thanks for taking the time to test it and share your experience. It sounds like the installation completed successfully, but Claude Desktop failed to render its GUI window on Linux Mint.

Since both the DEB and AppImage showed the same behavior, this may indeed point to a Linux Mint-specific compatibility issue. I’ll investigate further and update the guide if I find a workaround.

In the meantime, filing a bug report with the Claude Desktop developers is the right next step.

I spent more than three hours continuously working with Claude to get it running on my computer. We even rebuilt the software from scratch, following Claude’s guidance. Essentially, I just copied and pasted the terminal commands and shared the results back with Claude.

What we eventually discovered is that Claude Desktop does actually run on my machine, but it refuses to display any window. We tried every possible troubleshooting step we could think of, but nothing worked. In the end, Claude suggested that I file a bug report with the developers.

It appears there is some kind of system incompatibility with Linux Mint that prevents the application window from appearing, whether it is installed from the .deb package or run from the AppImage.
