Hi,
On the Figma-Linux page, we already see around half a million downloads. To give you an idea of the potential reach:
-
Inkscape (vector graphics app) has been downloaded over 1 million times on Flathub alone: https://flathub.org/de/apps/org.inkscape.Inkscape
-
GIMP has reached over 3 million downloads from Flathub: https://flathub.org/de/apps/org.gimp.GIMP
- In total, apps on Flathub have been downloaded more than 3 billion times: https://flathub.org/de/statistics
This clearly shows the size of the Linux desktop market. By publishing your app on Flathub, you gain access to millions of users through a single distribution channel. With a proper Linux release, you can dominate this market for creators.
For your price €16/month, you can provide for us a dedicated Linux version. Supporting Linux is not about maintaining “100 different distros” — it’s one simple Flatpak format that runs everywhere. Users are already downloading apps like GIMP and Inkscape millions of times despite their flaws. With your app, the potential reach is even greater.
Please stop ignoring this audience. You don’t need a complex adaptation like Adobe’s software — just a proper Flatpak release that works reliably across all distributions.
This is not a feature request. It’s a report of a major problem: a huge user base is excluded from using Figma natively, even though the solution is simple and the demand is obvious.
