    They already have a Linux app, I can’t see them not making UI adjustments for Linux phones.

    I’m also personally fine just using matrix but thats just me.

      The Signal lead has been vocally against doing a fully fledged version for Linux for a while now. He really likes his closed ecosystems. “for security”

      Desktop Linux is soooo insecure because users can access their own data.

        Ah, good to know. I don’t really use it (just have previously) so didnt know that.

        I’d be curious how that would swing with a heavy number of users switching to a linux phone.

        Agreed, just not the statement I was responding to, which I took as Signal - the company - getting on board with Linux mobile. But maybe I misinterpreted.

        Project status: archived

        oof

        i know Flare is another client for Linux, which does adapt itself to window size so it should work on mobile

        tho it can’t be used as a primary device easily (so you’ll need signal on another phone) and from past experience, the linking can be pretty iffy
