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.

Not being able to run Signal on my Android tablet feels really inconvenient. That would be no. 1 on my wish list

That’s the biggest pain point with Signal and WhatsApp in my opinion. Telegram does it, but then of course it’s much easier for them to support. Sharing content from my tablet is such a hassle.

I use warpinator to share between my phone, laptop and desktop at home. It uses the local network.

But yea, I use signal to share often, when I am out.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
