    I use Figma (a UX design tool). It has browser support but I prefer the native app experience, I’ve seen there are Linux versions on GitHub but I heard they have some compatibility or performance issues sometimes and I need it to be 100% reliable as it is for work. I also use some Adobe products sporadically (Illustrator and Photoshop) FOSS software doesn’t make the cut for professional use, even if they do nearly the same, since you need standard industry tools.

    I also like gaming and even though Linux is almost there (I love my Steam Deck) I see so many people struggling here and there and I really don’t feel like tinkering, I already tinker enough on Windows to get my games working properly.

    But all in all I’m still interested in Linux and keeping an eye on it and might pull the trigger some day even if is only for personal use/tinkering :)

      That’s where I am, I’m looking at switching my gaming computer over to fiddle with it, see what’s going on.

      Figma has an unofficial Flatpak version available, which is a wrapper for the web version so I can’t speak for how well it works but it might be worth to give it a try on your Steam Deck? Just search for “Figma” in Discover when on desktop mode.
