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.

Slack is proprietary garbage with bad Linux adoption. Apps need to integrate Portals themselves, if they are used to having access to anything they will use a regular file picker which only works if they already have access to your stuff.

Signal integrated all the stuff, Pipewire, Portals.

Please try... before comparing random proprietary apps (that also probably still dont work on Wayland, which also means they are insecure by design) to general Flathub.

Just learned yesterday there are over 800 verified apps on Flathub! Made by official developers! On Distro repos this is nearly 0
