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.

It sucks that they don't allow a survey without logging in first. Had to create an account extra for taking part...

The worst part about signing up somewhere is the amount of email spam that will land in you inbox. I don't know about their specific configuration, but by default Discourse (the forum software they use) sends weekly "digest emails" if you haven't visited the site for a week. So make sure to turn them off.

Use SimpleLogin and Bitwarden for everything. I never use the same email or password anywhere and can turn off receiving emails from the source for each account.

Its not a Signal survey, this is by a random user.

You can register anonymously.

The way you posted this made it seem it was an official signal survey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
