Figma, release an official version for 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.

@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. 🙂

@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

How come there is still no official linux release? Hurry up please, you got the resources! I’m envisioning an electron app with gnome-like custom titlebar controls to set a new standard

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.

did you get any update from Figma for the official linux version ?

is there any update for the linux official version ? should we wait or find another solution ? we really love the tool but most of developpers who don’t work in FANG we don’t use windows ! switch between linux to windows just for cool UI sucks !

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

Cheers

Since Figma is made in Electron, besides any os-specific features, it wouldnt be difficult to build a Linux version
Where I work, everyone uses Ubuntu. When I share it to the team I either need to export, or rely on the web version.

To the devs that might read this, please don’t rely only on X11 support.
Modern mainstream distros such as Ubuntu, popular desktop environments like GNOME, KDE Plasma 5, all use Wayland by default for quite a while.
Wayland support can be enabled far easier when building, but not every Electron app can be configured for Wayland support after.
