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.

    Crazy. But Signal never encrypted SMS.

    And even if they did, this would be worse than signal protocol and really confusing, because SMS only worked between signal and an sms app, encrypted sms would only work between signal and signal too.

    So you would have the same encryption over 2 protocols and people may just stay with sms all the time which is baaad.

    So seperate apps, I dont get peoples problems.

    I recommend DekuSMS for encrypted SMS.
