If you can open sites in a browser, then Figma plugins will work, because they are created using HTML, JavaScript.

Currently there is an issue with loading system fonts. Thus if you want to use custom fonts you may encounter difficulties.

There a few workarounds that for that. The only one that worked for me:

  1. Download chrome
  2. Install GitHub - neetly/figma-agent-linux: Figma Agent for Linux (a.k.a. Font Helper)
  3. Reboot
  4. Open the terminal and paste:
USER_AGENT="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/120.0.0.0 Safari/537.3"
google-chrome-stable --user-agent="${USER_AGENT}" https://www.figma.com/files/recent
