There are big wishes for Signal to adopt the perfectly working Flatpak.
This will make Signal show up in the verified subsection of Flathub, it will improve trust, allow a central place for bug reports and support and ease maintenance.
Flatpak works on pretty much all Distros, including the ones covered by their current “Linux = Ubuntu” .deb repo.
To make a good decision, we need to have some statistics about who uses which package.
That’s why Silence was forked from Signal.
You don’t get people’s problems because I’m going to hazard a guess that it’s not a problem for you and therefore you don’t actually have any lived experience with the issue. Or not currently anyway. But given you don’t seem to be too interested in peoples actual experiences and seem more interested in talking over people and insisting that your eristic arguments are the only right answer, I’m going to leave this conversation here and continue to have a hard time converting family and friends to Signal because they still use SMS and Signal doesn’t give a shit about people in countries where SMS dominates.
