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.
I didnt get your scentence. Yes I agree having a native Qt/Slint version would be cool. But the code still needs to be packaged for distros and Electron is horrible but solves like everything for them.
