Using a supported version?
- I have searched searched open and closed issues for duplicates.
- I am using Signal-Desktop as provided by the Signal team, not a 3rd-party package.
Overall summary
It is really hard to install signal in fedora or other immutable systems. I really don't think this is how signal should do this they should support linux fully it seems like. If signal does not have there app in linux this really a bad move from signal. Signal should immediately launch their app in flatpak and snap maybe also as .rpm
From steam os to new silverblue and many os are now immutable in nature so read only root. Immutable and not supporting them is really bad. https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/worldwide
