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.

Well, I don’t belive there’ll Deezer for Linux.
Deezer will not work on the Desktop App anymore. I guess some time will be maintained and then it’ll be discontiuned.
In this case I will probably cancel my subscription and look for somerhing else (Spotify seems to be supported by a lot of different devices). My aim is to have a stand-alone player that doesn't require a wireless connection or the use of a smartphone. A Raspberry pi with a touch screen meets this need.

You have also to take into consideration that the Linux community (which I’m a part of) is often a vocal minority. I’m pretty sure Deezer has some data that prove it wouldn’t be worth it to attribute resource to it.
But you can use the unofficial package available on flathub.
+2Don’t think this idea is worth putting effort in, honestly. Linux users account an extremely small percentage of users in total, I imagine Deezer also being very thin in numbers.
Which is why smart app development is important. If they designed their app with compatibility in mind from the start it would be minimal effort to add their app to any OS/platform.
Linux runs the world, it's not just desktop users. Making things work on Linux opens the door for other devices as well (smart devices/cars/media players/media servers). Again if they developed their app with open compatibility in mind supporting any platform would be trivial.
Linux desktop also continues to grow steadily. If you think about the number of Mac users vs Windows users there aren't a lot of Mac users either…
There is an unofficial Deezer desktop app on Linux. If a random person can compile code and get the app working on Linux surely Deezer can spend a week (or less) getting it to work.
You should check github, gitlab, sourceforge, and other FOS project website once in a while.
Last project updated for a deezer client on Linux that I found on github : https://github.com/aunetx/deezer-linux
The pinned comment on this should be updated to point to https://github.com/aunetx/deezer-linux, as the one in the pinned comment hasn't been updated in years.
An official app for GNU/Linux would be nice. However, remember that the player in browsers like Firefox works very well on GNU/Linux.
I think it's more necessary to be able to make playlists of playlists or folders for playlists.
It's time, the request was made 7 years ago, and an app has already been developed by enthusiasts...

If a app has already been made by third-party enthusiasts, then deezer should just bless that app, pr open up its API, so that third-party developers can create their own apps, similar to how Spotify is.

While I would also like to see a Linux version, this is something I suspect will never happen. I think it is not interesting enough for Deezer to do this. iOS, Android, Mac and Windows remain the most interesting for Deezer.
