  • After countless hours trying to get Figma Linux running optimally on my machines, I figured out how to get Wayland, Vulkan, and hardware acceleration working on Fedora 39 Workstation without using the web version of Figma.

  • Electron

  • I'm noticing a significant boost in performance, crisper text, and better power savings. The only shortcoming is that the window which Figma will run on will lose its shadow. This is due to a technical limitation with frameless windows on Linux.
