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 run on nearly every distro. Why arw they not providing that instead of a .deb?

      Yes, AppImage can run on more distro.

      Still AppImage has disadvantages over DEB: No auto-update, No/less system integration, Bigger install packages.
