State of Signal on Linux phones - eviltoast

I’m toying with the idea of trying to get Linux on my Fairphone 3 running. But one thing that was lacking on my Pinephone back then was the lack of a good Signal client. There were one or two available, but they were clunky. I helped out with one or two tickets but I lacked the time to do more and now I lack the energy.

So, is there a viable way to get Signal on a Linux phone? Maybe Waydroid? Or does that suck too much energy?

    That’d also mean breaking E2EE. I’m fine with bridges in general, but not for systems where people expect communication with me to be private.

    A solution would be to run a Signal bridge at home, that way you can keep the keys somewhat secure at least.
