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.

Unfortunately, it's only the web version( This version at least doesn't have access to fonts on the system.  And it only works in the browser. 

As far as I can tell, Figma's policy is not to release the app for Linux users, as it's not profitable for the company.

This is especially needed since the MCP looks like it can only use the desktop app. If we can get a linux desktop or an MCP that works with the web version either would work.

I don’t see it happening. This post has been up for three years, and the company reps haven’t acknowledged it even once. 🙁

Does Figma use Linux for builds, do you use git? I’d love it if you would take an inventory of how much you as a company benefit from it. I know Apple is cool and easy, but they don’t give back. So I know you have to use Mac’s and I know a lot of folks out there in the dev world just shrug off Linux after doing a million git, pip/npm/maven installs, and even AI request on all kinds of open source browsers and apps.

Of course a Linux app is not your priority, but it is the right thing to do. So you can choose to look the other way as you profit off the contributions of 100,000s or maybe just maybe give something back? Silicon Valley used to, but I guess the Bros won?

As a senior UX designer, I have delayed switching over to Linux for quite a while now. The primary obstacle has been Figma’s lack of Linux support.

What he says, would probably not miss a thing on Mint these days, but still no Figma Support.

Okay maybe a native linux version is still a long way to go (or not at all?) but can you guys release a font helper at least?? It's ridiculous that only linux is left out of this feature

I can not agree with this. It can be profitable a lot. For example a lot of developers are running on linux and they need paid feature - dev mode. So it is profitable.
