Linux needs a native client for Deezer!

I know that exist a client for Windows and Mac, but I can't to find any one for Linux. In my opinion the web version es pretty bad and the company can develop a port for their client.
I think that is important to cover all the platforms for all the users.

    I recently created an Ubuntu script to install Deezer based on the fantastic work done by IlyaGulya and SibrenVasse on an AUR package for Arch Linux. It should work on Debian too since Ubuntu is based on Debian, but I haven't tested it.

    You can view instructions on how to install it here https://github.com/siphomateke/deezer. It's not at all official and isn't guaranteed to work with future Deezer versions but it's what I am now using.

    I'm not sure why Deezer hasn't added support for Linux yet considering the Deezer desktop app for windows is an Electron app and runs just fine on Linux with a few minor tweaks.

    Hopefully this helps my fellow Ubuntu users.

    I join to this suggestion, if porting or creating the full app is too hard step, at first will be good to have client app based on web version via Electron technology - it will work in all OS and don't need to serious modify web interface.

      There are a lot of technologies to use, but the Deezer engineers have the last choice. Linux is very compatible and needs more native services like this.

        I hope this happens. Lack of Linux client is only reason I use Spotify over Deezer.

          Why do not you have a player for Linux? They could take advantage of this free software idea and support the platform https://github.com/baptistedonaux/deezer-desktop-linux

            Please create a Linux app with HiFi enabled. Spotify has a Linux app but I like your service better.

              I would definitely support that. I only use Spotify over Deezer due to the lack of the Linux app.

                Totally agree. Spotify is winning here due to lack of Linux client..

                  I want a Deezer Ubuntu app.

                  I switched to Deezer from Spotify because of LG TV app, but I want a Deezer Ubuntu app like Spotify.

                      Yes, using spotify is atrocious but there is just no practical solution to use Deezer on Linux!
