+![Checkra1n GUI running on Arch Linux](gui.webp)
+
+## 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:
+
+- libimobiledevice-1.0.so.6 (`libimobiledevice`)
+- libirecovery-1.0.so.3 (`libirecovery`)
+- libtvcontrol.so (`libtvcontrol`)
+- libplist-2.0.so.3 (`libplist`)
+- libncurses.so.5 (`ncurses5-compat-libs`)
+
+I found these by running the binary and then finding and installing the package
+that contained the shared object I was missing.
+
+I also made an AUR package named
+[`checkra1n-gui`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/checkra1n-gui),
+which does all this automatically.
+
+## Conclusion
+
+As I expected, there is nothing preventing the checkra1n GUI from working on non
+Debian-based distributions (as far as I can tell).
