Dear @Mer__edith and the the amazing @signalapp team,
After the last update, the Signal "desktop app" is requiring us to launch the mobile app - however, many of us do not have the Android or any other "mobile" version of the Signal app any more.
We are a large (by our standards) group of #Linux phone users, and your "desktop" app is our "mobile" app : )
Our previous phones on which #SignalApp was initially activated was an Android or Apple device and we have since then completely migrated to #Linuxphones. Some of us may have registered Signal on #signalcli, Flare, #Molly, Signal Android in #WayDroid, etc.
The #mobileLinux community is growing - we have members spanning a good number of projects and devices, e.g.
- @purism #Librem5 and #LibertyPhone running #Debian-based #PureOS #GnuLinux, #Alpine-based #PostmarketOS or #Mobian,
- @PINE64 #Pinephone and PP Pro running #ManjaroARM, #SailfishOS, etc.
- @furilabs #FLX1 running #Droidian-based #FuriOS,
- a wide variety of Android phones (including OnePlus 6, Google Pixel 3, #Fairphone 4 & 5) running #Alpine-based @postmarketOS ,
- @volla , #Fxtec and #Brax3 devices running #UbuntuTouch by @ubports,
- devices running @mobian which is part of #Debian project, etc.
[Apologies to any project I may have failed to include - you are all appreciated]

@The_Caretaker, the problem is not really software or Linux, rather than hardware vendors not providing or making it easy to include drivers outside of the Android ecosystem.
I can suggest PostmarketOS or Droidian if you want to run Linux on your phone. Else look for ROMs or projects based on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP).
@kevinctofel I'm currently running a #ThinkPhone with Android on it- switched from an iPhone 12 mini. I should be soon flashing #Droidian over to the ThinkPhone.
I'll be using a Garmin watch to replace my Apple Watch, as they also support tap-to-pay/NFC payments.
Hello! from #droidian (mobile linux) from my daily driver, Redmi Note 9 Pro Max. Ask me anything!

OTA update pushed to everyone tracking the `current` update channel.
Have fun! #MobileLinux #Droidian #phosh #gtk
@AnimeAndVisial well my #PocoF1 lasts about 8 hours per charge, so you shouod probably carry a power bank like I did. There are also some quirk peculiar to my phone like not being able to receive calls on suspend and no camera drivers, but if you get an actual designed-for-Linux phone like the #PinePhone or #Librem those are not issues (besides maybe the battery life)
If you don't need full mainline, @praveen can probably tell you more about the #Droidian based #FuriPhoneFLX1
@murena @gael @e_mydata privacy is #non-android-based solutions ;) #postmarketos #maemo #ubuntutouch #manjaro #mobian #droidian ;)
i left everything touching gafam or android, google or ungoogled ;)
Do you use #Debian on your mobile (Purism Librem 5, PinePhone, Volla phone or an old android model like One Plus 3 etc)?
Or would you like to switch from #andoid / #ios to an OS that is developed in a more decentralized /community driven and caring for our privacy and freedoms ? Much like how GNU/Linux on laptops/servers/PCs.
There are efforts like #Mobian and #Droidian but we need to raise some funds so we can implement some missing crucial features.
A few months ago, a person started helping me with my #Droidian port for #Vayu (Poco X3 Pro). In fact now I'd say I'm the one helping and all the work is done by them.
Lately I learned they moved to live in the mountains several years ago, has no electricity, no pc or laptop, only android device, bluetooth keyboard and a solar panel. They used debian chroot on the phone for development stuff.
Linux and all this tinkering mindset truly brings me together with the most interesting people.
The latest #droidian update did nuke my waydroid, which cannot be started as of now... Anyone experiencing the same? Better reinstalling it or waiting for droidian updates?
@FLOSS_Weekly @JP_Bennett @dsearls Would be great if you could also interview the #Droidian dev who launched the #FLX1 Linux mobile phone recently.
Decided to place an order for the FLX1 phone by Furilabs, its not a mainline device and honestly based on who is making it probably never will but it is a targeted halium device by one of their contributors and will be running a droidian fork by one of the main droidian developers. I've talked with some of the droidian developers before and its interesting to see how this will perform based on who i know is working on it.
