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.

This. Tidal allows lossless streaming in browser but its recommendations SUCK hard. I wanted to jump to Deezer hoping to get the best of both and nope. Sigh. Please either allow lossless streaming in the browser or add a native client.
In dev terms the MVP is lossless streaming in the web browser, then electron based wrappers like Nuvola or MellowPlayer will act fine as native-ish clients.
The hard work of the in-browser flac decoding is already done - https://github.com/audiocogs/flac.js

The fact that I cant stream HIFI in my desktop work environment makes me sad. Neither on my phone.
WHEN?
not one post from Deezer staff in here..
back to spotify we go?

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

I guess that what we ask for is a Deezer client for the most popular distributions, at least those that Spotify supports.
It looks like we do not matter for Deezer. We are just garbage for them. Not a single awnser from staf.
Don't worry guys, you're just as garbage to Spotify as you are to Deezer. Speaking from experience.
I'd like to see a Linux version as well. Don't know what's holding them, really, since their Mac app is merely a web page complete with CSS styles and javascripts repacked into an app with a FLAC decoding function built in. They haven't invested in their desktop app to make it a first class Mac citizen. Hell, they cannot even be bothered to provide better styles for that huge web page. Many people have been asking for dark mode for some time and got nothing.

Lol, as far as I know Spotify has linux client
Indeed it does. That doesn't make you less garbage to them. There is a multitude of issues that Spotify refuses to even talk about. For example, when they removed messaging there was a forum thread well over 200 pages and they simply ignored all of it. When someone submitted that as an idea, Spotify quietly removed it. After doing "maintenance" on the forums the number of pages in that thread accidentally shrank to 63. So... yeah. They do have Linux client which works fine.
The deezer web client does not work on Raspbian, the Raspberry Pi OS. This is too bad, I would like to use my raspberry pi and its screen as a Deezer front-end ;(
The reason is that there it seems flash plugins does not exist for raspberry, and I don't know why html5 does not work as well... So I +1 the linux plugin, which I hope may be compatible with Raspberry Pi platform.

create snap application for deezer, as spotify.
You can check Mellow Player, a very good alternative.
You can add Deezer and use it like a native player.

For those who want to try Deezer Desktop under linux here is now AUR package for Arch Linux users.

Deezer, you are loosing clients to your competitor Spotify. That's a shame.
I'm switching to Spotify because there is no nice Linux app. for Deezer, and I also encourage my friends and family to use Spotify because of that.

Please developer a Linux desktop App!
Well, there is some indirect confirmation that they are aware of this idea and are working on a Linux desktop app in the last Ideas Review thread:

On our Road Map
Linux needs a native client for Deezer
We intend to make our new Desktop App available on Linux but we still need to work on a delivery plan and cannot give you a release date just yet. We'll keep you posted.
Concerning lossless streaming on Linux you might check if Tidal or Qobuz have a desktop app and/or web player supporting it. Spotify has a Linux desktop app, but does not offer FLAC streaming, their highest available audio quality is 320 kbps Ogg Vorbis while Deezer's new HTML5 web player supports 320 kbps MP3.
There's a lib that u can make any website in a web app called "nativefier", with a simple command line u do it very simple. Take a look, honestly I didn't like because such as a browser, consumes a lot of memory causing lag on my computer
I'm a web developer, maybe one day I'll make a version of Deezer using Electron tech and consuming his API .

A native library (a la Spotify) would be even better than an app.
Plssssssssssssssssss, i prefer spotify because of this
PLSS, i prefer Dezzer but still using spotify because of the linux suport
I really support this idea. I am a deezer user for years now and for years am waiting for a native client for some popular distros like, ubuntu, fedora etc. Spotify got ahead and I am slowly thinking of moving from deezer to it, even though I really like deezer.
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/deezer/
works great and consumes a lot less RAM than MellowPlayer.
thank you 🙂

Wow, I was able to run it on Debian (just ran all the commands described in aur script) and it worked really nice. Now add the FLAC support for mobile phones and I will switch back to Deezer. Currently I'm using tidal, but they don't have linux native application (but since I'm listening most of the music on my phone with a DAC, I need the hifi on mobiles).
It's an electron app, so:
grab an electron (sudo npm install electron -g)
download windows installer, unpack with 7zip.
move app.asar from "$PLUGINSDIR\app-32.7z\resources" to some place and run it like
"/usr/bin/electron app.asar"
You can create a .desktop file or something. Works fine on kubuntu with all media keys supported.
Better than nothing.
