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.

2 years old thread and still no update. Things got even worse with the blocking of agents in linux. Please do something, we love Figma and we are here waiting. There are many skilled devs in Linux community. Just work with them…

I switched to Linux full time. Because exhausted about windows and Mac !
I am Senior ui-ux/graphic designer and I use Figma too!
We want a support on Linux. If you do it I know at least 60% of my community will switch to Linux.
So be part of the future of OS and do a port on Linux this will definitely make the things going better for everyone!!!

Hello. I’d like to participate in this topic.

The actual minimum would be to actually allow Linux people to use Figma, at least through the browser with a font-helper.

There are unofficial ports, but apparently they’re becoming unusable.

As I said, the minimum would be to support Linux for the font-helper for locally installed fonts.

Voted, we’re gradually shifting towards Linux and we’d love the official app.

For anyone that can’t wait, here is an awesome workaround GitHub - Fmstrat/winapps: Run Windows apps such as Microsoft Office/Adobe in Linux (Ubuntu/Fedora) and GNOME/KDE as if they were a part of the native OS, including Nautilus integration. if set up correctly it’s a near-native experience. I tried it with MS Office over 2 years and it never broke

I’m a Figma plugin developer. The lack of the dev tools in the web version is a major issue for me. I’d love to stay in my Linux environment when developing Figma plugins. Thank you for considering our suggestion!
