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.

I never used Linux, and i will never do. But a lot of developers are working on it, and having an official app for them would increase the global efficiency and reliability in projects.

Also, it would not give them any excuse to not do correctly our designs.

+1. Some people on our team use Linux, and the inability to edit text elements strains our workflow. I get that Figma does not want to invest in a fairly small group of its users, but documenting how it should be built would help. I’m sure someone will stand up and build an open-source solution in their spare time.

Getting Linux support would be super helpful, and it shouldn’t be too much of an issue if they’re already building cross-platform. Even getting one personal internally to champion it and/or build a proof of concept would be helpful.

How come there is still no official linux release? Hurry up please, you got the resources! I’m envisioning an electron app with gnome-like custom titlebar controls to set a new standard

Releasing a Linux desktop application for Figma would be a great thing for several reasons. Firstly, it would increase accessibility and usability for Linux users, who often face limitations in terms of design and prototyping tools. By providing a native application for Linux, Figma can cater to a wider audience and support the rapidly growing user base of the Linux operating system. Furthermore, a Linux desktop application for Figma would foster inclusivity and diversity in the design community by enabling more designers to collaborate and work seamlessly across different platforms. Overall, this move would demonstrate Figma’s commitment to offering a more diverse and inclusive design experience for all users, regardless of their choice of operating system.

It’s sad to see that the first post was in Jan 2022 2 years from now and it even says that the guy has been using Figma since 2 years so in 4 years Figma hasnt been able to make support for linux users. Their fonts system is so weird, the font should get attached to the file so when we open the file on another device we dont have to install the font each time to access itm
