Official Linux Support

Came here for the same reason everyone else did. Figma is not just for designers anymore, or that’s what Figma is trying to accomplish, if you want to lean closer to devs, Linux is where they are at.

MCP Server without Linux support is just incomplete. Get it together Figma, it’s a wrapper around a web app, probably using Electron anyway, how hard can that be?

Hi there,
It seems to install but for some reason it get locked so there is no way to work offline.
It looks like most of work ready software get bought as soons as they go on linux so linux user can never get it even though they would be happy to buy a license for it.

Sorry to point this out, I really hope it will change in the future.

I’ve fully switched to Linux — it gives me everything I need.
I’ve paid for Figma for 3–4 years, working with different teams.
But I don’t understand why there’s still no official Linux version.
It’s just an Electron app, so why not make it a Flatpak and let the whole Linux community use it?

One random developer made a Linux wrapper for free.
But Figma, which charges €15/month per user, can’t assign even one dev to package it properly?

We’re not asking for special features — just the web version with access to system fonts.
That’s all. It’s crazy that a big company can’t manage even that.

Figma could even support the guy who built the Linux client and make it official.

Companies like Figma, Adobe, and Affinity are the last real blockers.
They tell us: “Use Windows or get something worse.”

But Linux is ready. Only these companies hold it back.

Eu gostria muito que fizessem o que a Adobe não faz, portem o Figma para Linux, tenho certeza que 3 1 dev que entenda disso vai fazer fácil. Se eu soubesse como eu faria, mas tem uma galera enorme saindo do Windows para o Linux, não sejam como a Adobe que se acostuma a tratar de qualquer jeito os usuários simplesmente por dominarem o mercado. Por exemplo quem usa Adobe XD ? 

Yes please an official Linux application with support for MCP servers would be nice !

so basically Linux users are ignored. 

Why Figma doesn’t run on Linux, when Mac is an UNIX kernel?

A versão web é péssima, infelizmente, e existe um mundo de web designer que são usuários linux, como disse não façam como a Adobe que sempre ignorou a todos.

It's not about complexity — they can do it. But it's just not profitable for them, same as with Adobe.

The percentage of Linux users is way too small for corporations like that to care.

Why would Figma waste time supporting Linux when macOS and Windows are bringing them billions? In the end, Figma turned into yet another greedy corporation that ditched its original ideals for the sake of cash.

It’s a real mess! I had to work today one day with Figma on Linux machine. It opens only in browser, works (in Chrome very buggy) and  has no native MCP that I use for dev stuff. Figma, wtf, when the hell are you going to lauch native app for Linux users?
