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.
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,
That’d also mean breaking E2EE. I’m fine with bridges in general, but not for systems where people expect communication with me to be private.
A solution would be to run a Signal bridge at home, that way you can keep the keys somewhat secure at least.
