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.

Signal discussed at May Contain Hackers 2022 Conference
There are good reasons to exert a level of control over what connects to a communication network. But effectively shutting out a community of developers that would love to implement Signal clients for less popular OSes (many of which happen to attract the kind of infosec-aware crowd that used to be the core pushers of Signal) is not a good outcome.
- The status of Signal-Desktop-5.0.0 running on Pinephone made progress.

Exactly. The question here is whether we play or not. I'vre written my thoughts about this on our FAQ, with some references.
What are some alternatives?
libsignal-protocol-go - A GoLang library for communicating using the Signal protocol
Signal-Desktop - A private messenger for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
libsignal - Home to the Signal Protocol as well as other cryptographic primitives which make Signal possible.
gccrs - GCC Front-End for Rust
axolotl - A Signal compatible cross plattform client written in Go, Rust and Vuejs
libsignal-service-rs - A Rust version of the libsignal-service-java library for communicating with Signal servers.
