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 don’t care about the packaging format so much as about either having a Qt or GTK version or even just being able to open it in my browser.

    Well, the .deb only works on Ubuntu and derivates so that doesnt really matter
