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.

    So long time and deezer hasn’t provide a linux client. 

     

    I think Deezer could do something to get a POSITIVE solution to linux users, like provide a client or plugin.

     

    The unique NEGATIVE thing that I’ve seem was Deezer deny a working mopidy-plugin in 2018. 

    https://discourse.mopidy.com/t/deezer-extension-removed/2233

     

    So… I think and suggest a good ideia to not compromise the deezer devs is just rehab a mopidy plugin. It could be a good solution to linux users. 

     

    And remember the arm64 support - we also like RaspPi and others SBC with arm64 processors!

     

    Thanks in advance.

      We are still waiting this deezer linux app so may be I am just changing to spotify again. I don’t know becase the price of spotify is worse( 1 euro I think) But at least there is some things better than here( one of them and very important my family is claming that the catalogue is worse in deezer than in spotify)

              An urgent need!!!. Electron rappers of the web version does not reflect the flac quality well. Even native Spotify Linux app sounds better. Please make a native Linux Deezer app.
