1- Installing it is difficult and scary
2- You can't just "install Linux" - there are choices to be made (distro, SE) that you don't even know how to make
3- It's harder to find the software you're used to, and know how to install it
1- and 2- can be mitigated by using LiveCD to try things, installing it on that old computer that we all have lying around, and just going with default Ubuntu. 3- takes a lot of getting used to.

I wrote a status update! https://kevinguillaumond.com/en/2024/04/status-update-april-2024/ There's no guarantee that there'll ever be another one, but it's nice to have been able to spend some time writing #opensource code this month :)

@Marv Ohhh I just assumed it wasn't possible!

I dusted off the computer I got in university. It had a dual boot: #windows 7 and #ubuntu 12.04! Unfortunately could not remember any of the passwords

@julianfairfax @zeroday @agx @deedend @devrtz @purism I thought Signal didn't like 3rd party apps connecting to their servers? Has that changed or will they eventually prevent Flare from reaching them? I'm planning to daily drive my Librem 5 and that's my biggest concern at the moment
