I'll probably donate, but I find it annoying that Signal only offers Linux packages for Debian-based distros. I've had headaches with the Flatpak. I would think that the Linux desktop audience - while not huge - would be the most interested in Signal. That is, might not be a lot of Linux users but percentage-wise I'd bet more Linux users are interested in Signal than macOS or Windows users.
Even an AppImage would be lovely.
The Flatpak works fine for me on Fedora, though of course it's an Electron app, and it periodically has to be re-connected if I don't use it much.
Seconded, the Flatpak is the way to go.
Signal Desktop is available in the Arch repositories. https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/signal-desktop/
That would be very helpful... if I ran Arch.
