Unbelievably pissed off at Figma right now

All I wanted to do is install a custom font for my project but for whatever reason, they don't support Linux users which is baffling to me. Spent all morning trying to install third party clients which are buggy, broken, and don't work. 

I love this app and want to keep using it, but how can they neglect an entire section of their userbase who used Linux on a regular basis??? And no, I refuse to go back to Windows. F*ck Bill Gates.

This is complete and utter horsesh*t

They don't support Figma on Linux?
Can't you just run the mac version? They should in theory be the same.

However Figma is browser based anyway so you could always just run it in a browser :)

There is a port here: https://github.com/Figma-Linux/figma-linux

I tried that and couldn't get it to work. Also Figma did something to their web app where it doesn't sync fonts with web browsers on Linux.

I swear there's some shady backdoor bullsh*t they're pulling with Big Tech to do something like this.

That's not it. Installed in through Windows and it works just fine so it's not the font.

I read something earlier about their web client no longer recognizing users if the browser is installed on a Linux distro. I'd have to dig it up.

Nah don't think to dark about this.
It might be the browser not recognising the fonts?
