## Introduction
The official cross-distribution build of checkra1n only contains a CLI and TUI. However, the version available in the [checkra1n APT repository](https://checkra.in/linux) also contains a GTK-based GUI which can be accessed using the `--gui` flag, or the included `checkra1n.desktop` file.

## Other Distributions
First, download the Debian package available at `https://assets.checkra.in/debian/checkra1n_VERSION_amd64.deb` (as of writing, `VERSION` is currently `0.12.2`). Then, extract the `checkra1n` executable from the package, and install the correct shared libraries. Here are the most important ones, and their corresponding package names on Arch Linux:

## Conclusion
As I expected, there is nothing preventing the checkra1n GUI from working on non Debian-based distributions (as far as I can tell).
