I’m toying with the idea of trying to get Linux on my Fairphone 3 running. But one thing that was lacking on my Pinephone back then was the lack of a good Signal client. There were one or two available, but they were clunky. I helped out with one or two tickets but I lacked the time to do more and now I lack the energy.
So, is there a viable way to get Signal on a Linux phone? Maybe Waydroid? Or does that suck too much energy?
There’s Flare but it’s definitely not feature complete.
Nice, I will try it out.
Oh yeah, this looked quite good. I’ve been using waydroid with kdeconnect on phosh.
I haven’t tried it on a phone but Signal has a flatpak available so maybe try that.
It’s their desktop client. It’s x86 only because of Electron.
Ah, that makes sense. I’m curious if someone else knows, though.
Officially, yes, but there’s also https://elagost.com/flatpak/ Also (shameless self plug): https://linuxphoneapps.org/apps/org.signal.signal/
There is Axolotl or Wayland, as far as I know.
There are several (paid) Matrix services that allow bridges to other networks like Signal, WhatsApp, Telegram etc. Then, you can use matrix clients like nheko or matrix’ web version in a browser,
