I wonder why Signal opposes flatpak so much. As far as I remember, they insist on sticking to .deb package only [1]. Seems like switching to Flatpak would benefit a lot of people now because of Steam Deck-induced Flatpak popularity [2].

There is a Signal flatpak (https://github.com/flathub/org.signal.Signal), I'm unsure if the Signal devs are involved in it or not.
I've been using it for about a year - seems fine.
Me too. Would appreciate it being first-party though.
