I am using Figma from almost 2 years. It’s a great tool. Previously I was using Windows 10 yet recently switched to Linux(Ubuntu). Figma doesn’t have any official release for Linux. There are some Unofficial desktop versions but they are “BUGGY”. I request you guys to release an official Figma desktop app for Linux.

@Andre_Yoann_KENMOGNE_NGAMGA done!

However, as I added text during editing, it may interfere with the subtitle a little, but you can modify the style of the video subtitle by going to settings.

I hope I helped, a big hug! 🤗

This is great. Thank you. Is Figma app fully functional with this setup (installing/using plugins etc.)?
I guess yes, since it is an Electron app. Just wanted to make sure.

Recent changes to Figma have broken the unofficial versions, leaving Linux users now completely dead in the water. Its really not acceptable to not either release some specifications on how to support local fonts, or release an official linux wrapper. It is just an Electron app, so this is not a major effort.
