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?

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.
