FWIW someone is trying to create a Signal&#x2F;Textsecure client for Ubuntu phone[1][2], using web-sockets, with (I think) a QML-interface and a go back-end, so once it&#x27;s ready it should hopefully be relatively easily portable to desktop Linux (and if&#x2F;when Ubuntu convergence becomes more than a pipe dream it should work even without porting...)<p>I haven&#x27;t actually used it or looked at the code, so I can&#x27;t comment on the usability of the interface or the security of the implementation.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;janimo&#x2F;textsecure-qml&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;janimo&#x2F;textsecure-qml&#x2F;</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;uappexplorer.com&#x2F;app&#x2F;textsecure.jani" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;uappexplorer.com&#x2F;app&#x2F;textsecure.jani</a>
