Signal on Linux

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?

AppImages, ~~which have no automated update facility, are terrible idea for software that is based on the security of the messaging syatem.

AppImage for The Powder Toy (a great game) - no problem.

For Signal? Bad idea.~~

I'm looking at you, SimpleX.

rpm? Yeah, you've got a very valid point.

Update: I'm wrong - see replies to this message.
