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.

    I don’t care about the packaging format so much as about either having a Qt or GTK version or even just being able to open it in my browser.

      There is Flare. I haven’t used it myself because it’s not official and I don’t know what it will do to e.g. my backups, but just sharing in case you’re interested.

          I didnt get your scentence. Yes I agree having a native Qt/Slint version would be cool. But the code still needs to be packaged for distros and Electron is horrible but solves like everything for them.
