How is it possible, that Signal still only provides a .deb package and no .rpm, or even better AppImage or Flatpak? There is an unofficial Flatpak but is it secure?

    I have the official Signal Desktop flatpak installed through Discover. It exists.

        Its not official, but you can read the manifest to see what is done during building.

        Yeah, I think it’s that one. Does Discover pull it’s content from flathub.org?

        It says “by Signal Foundation” on it and 900,000 people have installed it so it seems good enough to me.
