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.

    Since Deezer does not care about its customers, it will not make any difference to cancel my subscription and convince as many people as possible to use their products.

    I'm using MellowPlayer on Manjaro right now, but unfortunately, it consumes a lot of RAM and CPU. Sometimes, it's reaching 700mb of ram consumption. We really need the official native app.

            We really need a native client for Linux kernel-based systems.
            Thank you for your efforts to do this and I would appreciate it if there was a communication on this. I offer myself, to help in the tests.

              My Chrome in Linux and logged into my Deezer account.
              using Deezer interface through chrome on Linux or ChromeOS
              I see 1,411 kbs to supported Chromecast 3rd gen not ultra
              Hdmi to j-tech digital hdmi audio extractor, optical out to schiit modi multibit d/a converter to cd imput on preamp.
              Flac streaming development from browser such as chrome, edge now chromium based and Firefox, should be higher priority.
              Chrome on mac and edge for windows and chrome on Linux could could solve 3 platform problems at once and you wouldn't need desktop apps. Desktop client development could switch to android and ios app development, till then I could use the browsers on portable devices as web apps till then.
              My pixel 2 with BT 5 supports ldac streaming output in dev. settings just want a portable flac streaming service to listen to on the go.
              deezer on andriod shows streaming hi fi to above setup as well
              Rumor has it amazon music will be streaming hi-res by this fall/winter
