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.

And if you want an example of one that self updates, ferdium.
Ah, I'm wrong. Actually, that's a good thing.
TIL - and thank you.
