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.
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.
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.

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.
matrix lad myself… but

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
…i saw that… curious. #linuxphoneapps had a few options tho… but i, sadly, don’t use signal… so not sure.
