O Conductor não tem versão para Linux nem um prazo público para lançar uma. Ele usa Swift e AppKit, a camada de interface proprietária da Apple, que não existe no Linux. Se você usa Linux e quer o fluxo do Conductor com agentes em paralelo e worktrees, Pane oferece AppImage e pacote .deb nativos com os mesmos recursos principais.

por que o conductor não funciona no linux
O Conductor é um app nativo para macOS. Swift, a linguagem usada nele, tem uma versão oficial para Linux mantida pela Apple. Mas o Conductor usa AppKit, o framework de interface do macOS, que não tem equivalente no Linux. Toda a renderização e o sistema de janelas dependem da Apple. Uma versão para Linux exigiria reescrever toda a interface, não apenas recompilar.
Em junho de 2026, o site conductor.build só listava downloads para macOS. Não há Flatpak, AppImage, .deb nem menção ao Linux na documentação. É uma limitação central da arquitetura, não apenas um recurso que falta e pode chegar em uma versão futura.
→ AppImage — download, run chmod +x pane.AppImage, then execute. No root needed, works on any distribution.
→ Pacote .deb: instale com sudo dpkg -i pane.deb no Debian, Ubuntu, Pop!_OS, Linux Mint e derivados.
Pane does not require tmux, screen, Homebrew, or any macOS-specific toolchain. The only prerequisite is git, which is already present on virtually every Linux development machine.

perguntas frequentes
No. Conductor is built on Swift and AppKit, Apple's native UI framework. AppKit does not exist on Linux, so there is no Linux build, no Flatpak, no AppImage, and no announced plans for Linux support. Linux developers cannot run Conductor.
Pane ships two Linux formats: an AppImage (works on any distribution without installation) and a .deb package (for Debian, Ubuntu, and derivatives). Download either from runpane.com/docs/download. For the AppImage, mark it executable and run it — no package manager or root access needed.
No. Pane is a native desktop application that manages terminal sessions internally. You do not need tmux, screen, or any terminal multiplexer. Pane handles session persistence and switching itself.
The AppImage format works on any Linux distribution with a reasonably recent glibc (Ubuntu 20.04+, Fedora 35+, Debian 11+, Arch, Manjaro, openSUSE, and others). The .deb package targets Debian/Ubuntu-based systems. RPM support is not yet available but the AppImage covers RPM-based distros as a fallback.
Yes. Worktree-backed sessions are the core isolation model in Pane on every platform, including Linux. When you open a new agent session, Pane creates a git worktree in a separate directory so each agent works on its own branch without touching your main checkout. The only prerequisite is git, which is already present on virtually every Linux development machine.
Pane supports Claude Code, Codex, Aider, OpenCode, Goose, Letta Code, and Cline — any agent that runs in a terminal. Because Pane gives each session a real built-in terminal emulator, it does not restrict you to a specific agent list. If the agent has a CLI, Pane can run it on Linux the same way it runs on macOS.
Pane is a native desktop application that requires a display server — either X11 or Wayland. Both are supported. If you run a Wayland compositor such as GNOME on Wayland or Sway, Pane runs under XWayland automatically on distributions that ship it, which covers nearly all mainstream desktop environments.
There is no hard limit set by Pane — you can open as many simultaneous agent sessions as your machine's CPU and memory allow. In practice, developers commonly run four to eight parallel sessions on a mid-range Linux workstation. Each session gets its own worktree and terminal, so agents do not share working state.
Conductor's session state is local to macOS and cannot be exported or shared with Linux machines. With Pane, each session maps to a standard git worktree and branch, so a worktree your teammate opens on macOS with Pane and pushes to a shared remote is immediately available for you to pull on Linux. The collaboration model is ordinary git — not a proprietary sync format.
Yes. Pane is released under the AGPL-3.0 license and the source code is publicly available. Conductor is closed source with no public repository. AGPL-3.0 means you can inspect, modify, and self-host Pane, but any modifications you distribute must also be released under the same license.
Session persistence is built into Pane. Closing the window does not terminate the underlying agent process, and your session list is restored the next time you open Pane. This is handled without tmux, screen, or any external process manager — Pane manages session state internally.
