The same situation here (but Linux Mint) and I confirm that official desktop app for Linux is strongly necessary.

Why isn’t this a serious thing for Figma team when there are huge number of figma users on Linux for sure? The web version lacks some features and thanks to the maintainers of the unofficial figma for linux but that still lags and stays behind in terms of features and updates.

I twitted the issue, and got a response here is the answer from figma and This is the thread.

Of course its not a priority…because there are no designers on linux /s

I am a Software Developer - Full Stack Developer and Designer and i am using Linux as my main Operating system. I want to use Figma but there is no official software from Figma for linux and i have to use Figma-web. Please launch the Linux version of Figma.

same here, now they are under Adobe, I don’t think we will have anything! I will move to some open source

Yeah… Figma Should give it high priority… Figma is a tool thats only not for designers… a huge amount of developer also use it… and also there is dev mode in Figma… So Why they are not thinking about that person ?
or Figma Doesn’t care about thats people ?

They’re not, the aquisition didn’t come through. We have hope!

Please release an official version for the LINUX operating system because the version on github is unstable and outdated.

Please think of your Linux users.

I even have a YouTube channel where I speak highly of the tool.

Several designers have already migrated to Figma due to the channel’s suggestions, but now I really need to use it on Linux and I need the official version.

Hey Samuel, thanks for your feedback!
We understand how Linux support could be useful, but at this time, it’s not something we have ‌immediate plans to work on. We will pass along to our team your feedback.
In the meantime, others in the community have requested something similar. Feel free to vote the idea, so we can gauge the overall interest in the community: Official Linux Support

@Celine_Figma Today I discovered a way to integrate the official Figma into Linux (without needing to download Figma via SNAP, github etc…)

By next week at the latest, I will create super content on YouTube teaching how to get around this situation and use the official Figma.

I ask you not to close the topic until next week so I can post the link here for you.
Hugs! 🤗

Hey Samuel,
Thank you for letting me know! No worries, the topic will close only automatically after 90 days after the last reply in the topic. 🙂

Why is this not more upvoted? Many Figma users are devs who use linux and they can’t touch text areas because Figma has no official font agent. I do UI and front-end and I frequently switch between ubuntu - windows to change a typo for clients.

I’d guess that majority of the users are on macOS and Windows. So investing into Linux desktop agent isn’t really worth it. C’est la vie

You are not wrong but because Figma doesn’t have any Linux version yet that’s why no Linux user is actually using it that much.

I am stuck on Windows just because of Figma. I like Linux way more than MacOS or Windows. If they can just drop the font support for Linux I will be happy to use it in the browser even.

@Celine_Figma Follow the video tutorial below on “How to run the official Figma on Linux” just by transforming the web version into an app.

You can now forward this resolution to everyone for now until the Figma team makes the link to download the installation file.DEB available on the website.

I hope you like it, a big hug to the whole team! 🤗

@Josh Criei um video rodando o Figma com nativefier no linux-LMDE-6.
Espero que te ajude, abraço! 🤗

Did you add translation please for english listeners?
@Celine_Figma, i totally agree with him, sometimes when you are tired with Windows and want something new, especially for dev, you go on Linux/Ubuntu_distro.

I will be including the caption today at your request. A hug! 🙃

@Andre_Yoann_KENMOGNE_NGAMGA done!

However, as I added text during editing, it may interfere with the subtitle a little, but you can modify the style of the video subtitle by going to settings.

I hope I helped, a big hug! 🤗

This is great. Thank you. Is Figma app fully functional with this setup (installing/using plugins etc.)?
I guess yes, since it is an Electron app. Just wanted to make sure.

Yes and thanks, but because it is electron app so huge memory.

yes my friend!
However, in some Linux versions I was unable to run native
