Not sure I understand how this works. Dev signups are just "open"? So you can register any package name so long as you get to it first and lock out the actual dev? That's, um ... yeah. Nice "security" solution there.

At this point I'd import a Linux phone but I can't even guarantee it'd work in my country because of carriers doing IMEI black / whitelisting.

Does Signal run on actual Linux phone distros? That's pretty much the only actual "app" I need....

The Signal Desktop app should be possible to run on arm/aarch64 devices: https://github.com/dennisameling/Signal-Desktop/issues/1

According to postmarketOS, it doesn't run well out of the box on mobile yet: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Applications_by_category#Other_protocols
