Signal on Desktop survey?

On this forum there is open discussion about Taking ownership of Signal Flatpak, but in my humble opinion, we need to have some measurements, before we can be taken more seriously by Signal desktop team. Can you please answer to bellow questions. Thank you. Which Signal on phone are you using: poll Which Signal on desktop are you using: poll Which method of installation are you using on Signal on desktop? poll If you are using Singal on Linux, on which Linux distribution you are using S...

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.

      Matrix, the protocol, is quite nice.

      Element, the Matrix reference client, is too complicated IMO. If everyone were to only use FluffyChat, it would be great but then FluffyChat afaik doesn’t implement every protocol feature and and you could end up in compatibility issues with Element users.

      Purely as a client I find Telegram the most convenient. I think more should copy their homework from there, heck perhaps post the client to Matrix.
