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.
Another vote for figma linux .deb native app. It’s time, and, its the perfect moment
It is so strange. Outdated Google Fonts and no local font support for Linux.
Is it really a professional tool? I wanted to buy it for me. But the Figma team is not going to do their job properly. They do not listen to the community and their clients.

Agreed. One more upvote for a Linux native app. Very tired of being forced to use Mac and Win OS.
4 years ,,,, and we still waiting.
Hi All,
Thank you so much for continuing to share your thoughts with us. We really appreciate how passionate this community is.
We know Linux support has been an ongoing request for quite some time, and we completely understand how important it is to many of you. While it’s something that’s remained on our team’s radar, we unfortunately don’t have a confirmed timeline (or guarantee) to share right now.
Please know that your feedback truly makes a difference. We read every comment and will continue to advocate internally for broader platform support. Thank you again for your patience, understanding, and for being such an engaged part of our community.
Guys, we need tag them in each Linux commentary to get normal answer when. Not " Bla bla bla we don't need you" Like it say this miss >
And ask your friends to help you with your Linux support request. It's a system for professionals, a place where design meets development. There's no support right now…

Yes! It is a great time to start supporting Linux with an official desktop app, especially since Windows 11 is in decline and more and more people are switching to Linux, myself included.

Who thought that the last thing that stop me from switching to Linux would be Figma ? Is it time to switch to an other tool ?
Pleeeease add support for Linux. You do not even have to release a desktop version if you don’t have time for it. Just add a font installer support so we can use local fonts in the browser, I know that will take one dev less than a week to do. So please, for the love of all that is holy, please just make it a bit easier to use your platform on Linux. I can accept working in a browser for now if I can at least make use of local fonts.
So. With Figma Linux Next we don’t need official Support because its just works excellent, but ignore from Figma about this theme is just terrible …. Hate you Figma.

True, terrible and stupid. Since whole app is web based and Windows and Mac apps are not more then electron wrappers, not using their native ui like cocoa and winUI 🤷
Same situation here. I ditched Windows 11 and moved to Fedora 6 months ago and it was a very good decision - I'm still learning Linux but overall I'm happy with the experience - only one problem with Figma - why you stick so hard with Windows - they're a corporation that has never cared about users - their products are as bad as ever and they clearly don't care about users and their experiences. I'm not going back to Windows - but I'm inviting Figma to join the Linux community. If you don't adapt to user needs you will lose the user and their trust.
Its a absolute disrespect to Linux community. A single guy can bring support but figma offical cannot.
Shame on you Figma. Shame on you.

We need a better alternative for Linux. Penpot seems a nice choice but their performance is not really great as Figma. and Penpot choose wrong language for Rendering.
Hold on brother, very soon a better alternative will appear because its AI era.
Can you give a clear answer on behalf of your management? All your responses are useless. It seems like your management isn't even aware of this issue. And you're doing a poor job. I canceled my subscription solely because you don't support Linux. And in 2026, that's simply disgraceful for a company of your stature.
Would be nice to have a linux client even if just to be able to have better MCP integration. Now that the nerd devs are in town it would be nice to be a bit more accommodating.
Hi everyone,
I'm creating my own fork of Figma Linux Next with features that I'd like to see in my workflow.
Some of the planned features include:
Touchpad mode
Split-screen support
Spaces for different projects
Custom icons for tabs
Thank you
Fork of the fork of the fork 🙈
Fork of the fork of the fork 🙈
It's open source 😂
The original Figma Linux project made it possible.
Figma Linux Next makes it possible to work with the current version of Figma on Linux.
I only added the improvements and features that I personally use in my daily work.
Just normal daily Linux things.
