Why doesn't Signal adopt Dennis Ameling's WOA build approach?
For years now Dennis Ameling has been producing Windows on ARM (WOA) builds for Signal. Do we know why Signal doesn't do this work for him? If one motivated developer can pull this off, it seems like the Signal team should be able to as well. It'd be nice to download an ARM build from the signal.org site directly.

Is there a way for me to use the Signal messaging app on a Chromebook?
Signal supports Linux x86 but not ARM (at this point). There is a Signal ARM version being developed and tested via GitHub - I guess it's experimental. I use it on my HP x2 11 and it's been fine for the most part. It's not super up-to-date like the main linux version is but it's still working.

Any way to use Signal from a Chromebook?
Me too, there is also a test arm version on GitHub: https://github.com/dennisameling/Signal-Desktop/releases/tag/linux-arm64-poc

Signal 5.27.1 for M1 Macs is out!
Special thanks to Dennis Ameling for all his work and patches to make this official. If you want to migrate from signal unofficial to signal official I posted a one line terminal command to copy everything over.

Signal desktop beta 5.27 appears to introduce native M1 macOS support
Looks like it's been in the works since at least June 2021: https://github.com/dennisameling/Signal-Desktop/releases

How to stop slow apps that steal focus multiple times during startup
For Signal, use this fork https://github.com/dennisameling/Signal-Desktop/issues/4

Signal won't support M1 Macs anytime soon, tell contributors to fuck-off
The community already done that: https://github.com/dennisameling/signal-desktop (working on Windows & Apple ARM). Still, I think it's a shame that all the work was done, ready to be merged (needed PRs were open) and Signal devs just shut the door on it.

Any update on the availability of 'for ARM processors' Signal Desktop app for Linux?
Using Dennis Ameling's fork of Signal on my M1Pro MBP works wonderfully. dennisameling / Signal-Desktop

What is missing from Linux mobile today? (discussion)
Well... I made this thing https://github.com/L0v3P01s0n/sleepwalk. It's not much, but it certainly took me several months of daily driving linux phones to reach this point. Hope it's useful to you 🙂

For the upcoming month, each YouTube channel
https://github.com/L0v3P01s0n/sleepwalk Here you go. Making this thing made it a lot easier to use a linux phone as my main one. I still need to figure out how to make this reach more people cause otherwise I would just have made this for myself only xD

Uses for PinePhone
Here you go: https://github.com/L0v3P01s0n/sleepwalk-phosh. It's a script to periodically wake up the PinePhone so you can get notifications. Currently only works for the OG PP on systemd distros using phosh. I do plan on eventually making it universally compatible with any distro and DE, as well as adding PinePhone Pro support once I get my hands on one. Hope you find it useful

Seeking Pinephone Expert [Paid Opportunity] 🌟
oh yeah completely forgot... sorry xD. Here you go: https://github.com/L0v3P01s0n/sleepwalk-phosh. It's still not complete as it only works on phosh right now (heavily relies on gnome-session.inhibit binary), but I plan on making it compatible with every DE, and at least all systemd distros. Also I don't own the Pro so... it will take a while until I can develop for it.

Is it possible to daily drive the Pinephone pro? Or is it just not ready yet?
I have actually been developing something to help with receiving notifications inside the pocket... like normal phones do xD. I'll link it to you (https://github.com/L0v3P01s0n/sleepwalk-phosh). It's not yet complete, as it doesn't work on every DE, only phosh for now, and it also doesn't work on non-systemd distros (mainly pmOS). Since I don't have the Pro to develop on it, it also isn't compatible with the pro. But one day it will be able to run no matter what you are using. Maybe it's useful to you

Just a PinePhone :)
I come from using aosp android with no google services, rooted and with microg. Been using the thing as a daily driver for a year now, and I'm also developing some stuff for it to make it even more daily driveable (UwU). I recently got the keyboard (and the PineTime too!) for it and I read about it and noticed most of the charge goes to the keyboard so the phone barely charges. You can't change the priority of it, but you can limit how much goes to the PP battery and how much goes to the KB battery (OwO). So yeah, after tweaking the values according to the charger you use, it's fine (as long as it's 3A max, otherwise goodbye battery and potentially phone). Been loving this thing from day 1, loving it more each day it passes and it gets better, also trying to make it better myself. I don't miss anything about my prior android phones yet, thanks to alternative clients for social media that I'm forced to use to communicate and also thanks to Waydroid (https://waydro.id/). Also typing on the keyboard for me is great, both like a laptop or with the thumbs while using it handheld.

pinephone or pinephone pro?
I'm with you on this one, I've been using the OG as daily driver for a year now, and I'm also developing a bit for it to make it better as a daily driver, like making notifications actually reach while in your pocket with some other tweaks (https://github.com/L0v3P01s0n/sleepwalk-phosh). It's mostly complete, but I need to work on a script to return the modem to its original state (restarting it and figuring out a way to know if you had mobile data on or off before it went out, also I need to figure out how to enter the pin automatically too), since it has a bad habit of stopping working when he wants, making mobile data useless at some point which the modem never returns.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Signal-Desktop and sleepwalk you can also consider the following projects:
Signal-Desktop - A private messenger for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
TextSecure - A private messenger for Android.
axolotl - A Signal compatible cross plattform client written in Go, Rust and Vuejs
