starting a native adaptive Linux client for Signal
Our plan is to put most of the backend logic in a portable Rust library building on upstream's Rust libraries. Someone is already interested in using that for a new CLI/bot client.

Golang protocol implementation?
I can't vouch for it, but this looks worth checking out: https://github.com/signal-golang/textsecure

starting a native adaptive Linux client for Signal
So I think we need a native Linux client. I do not think Axolotl is a viable long term solution because it uses its own implementation of the Signal network protocol (written in Go). Reimplementing the cryptography and network protocol is a ton of work and will continue to be a ton of work as upstream adds more features. Axolotl has only just started reimplementing the new Signal groups protocol which was introduced 5 months ago. Also, the security of a reimplementation is dubious.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing libsignal-service-rs and textsecure you can also consider the following projects:
cxx - Safe interop between Rust and C++
libsignal-protocol-go - A GoLang library for communicating using the Signal protocol
libsignal - Home to the Signal Protocol as well as other cryptographic primitives which make Signal possible.
Hermes - GTK Adaptive Signal Client (Unofficial)
whisperfish
axolotl - A Signal compatible cross plattform client written in Go, Rust and Vuejs
anbox-playstore-installer - Install script that automates installation of googles playstore in anbox
