Official Linux Support

Hey there y’all, I switched fully to Linux after trying it (for development purposes) and I really like it here but the thing is there is NO FIGMA official app. Me and many ppl here on campus have switched to Linux and it would be good to have native support for Linux. since the browser version doesn’t really have a clue what’s inside the system like fonts… and also the IRONY of the this article is mad. It literally says “At Figma, we believe everyone should have access to design tools.” and yet here we are

I’d love an official Linux app because it does not work with standard Wine.

I have been using an unofficial implementation for some time now (Figma-linux) and would love an officially supported app which does not randomly get unsolved issues like not being able to edit text 😢

idk how big a linux Figma userbase would be but for the minority (3k gh stars) i think this could be great

It would be great if this could be reconsidered since this is the reason that I’ve yet to switch to Figma. A lot of developers are on Linux, and if you want them to use Figma for their apps, it is a necessity to have an official Linux app.

You can find unofficial [Electron] based Figma desktop app for Linux here, [including appimage versions]:

Cheers

I am living proof that statement is bs

Yes. With Chromebook having Linux support it will then support all major OS systems and hardware.

Hello Figma team, i know that you do not want to create linux official app, because it’s not a main trend, and it’s open source (linux) which is against all the big tech companies. But linux is the future not bloated windows.
I’m also linux user and sticking to only using web browser which is a shame because i’m lacking functionalities which i would like to use on linux too, where is the freedom of choice?
please add official linux app

+1 I also really want a linux version, dont want to be stuck with using browser version.

id like to see this as well

When I have to work with a live dev environment that runs under Linux at my workplace, I have no choice but to use the web version, unless I work from home and have my desktop open just to run Figma. I don’t see why an electron app would be that time-consuming to build for linux. At least make wine work, if you’re unwilling to give us native support.
