Make the desktop app available for Linux
Everyone seems to love the desktop app, but Linux users (like me) don't have that available to us. It'd be cool if we could get the app, too.

It is currently really hard for linux users to create modpacks for the curseforge website. Please at least make a linux program that makes creating modpacks available for linux.

with the advent that twitch has started to build out a mod/game store, more and more people are turning to twitch for distribution, please work out a full-featured client for the linux users in your community ASAP.

I would love to play the games with native Linux clients that I have claimed on my Twitch Prime Account but they require the Twitch Desktop app. Not to mention, being able to watch my favourite streamers on my OS of choice outside of the browser would be awesome.
No, wine is not a replacement for having access to a native client. I am sorry Jose.

They said their devs have talked about for a long time, and that it is on the road map now.

I would like to see the twitchapp for linux even the opensource gnometwitch actually support modpacks for the various games that actually do run on linux such as minecraft.

I too wish there was a linux version, but there is a workaround untill they do release one, it wont update your addons, but atleast you can watch your favorite streamers.
sudo apt-get install flatpack / or / dnf install flatpack
flatpak remote-add flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak install flathub com.vinszent.GnomeTwitch
Really basic interface, but it works... We all need to band together and push for linux derivatives of these programs, our userbase is expanding and they need to take note...
