Expect to run in 64 Xenial onwards.
rename the file: SigPup6-64.bak to signal-desktop-6.0.1_amd64.sfs
(I did this merely so it is not obvious to any Drive snoops what it is, a foss encrypted messenging app.)
No, mostly
It's made by me FROM official repositories with a Puppy user-made utility.
I am not malicious/a hacker but I cannot vouch for the chain before me.
I should probably add the integrity hash for anyone who gets what far, if I still have it.
The other time caveat is losing my Drive, if anyone would care in the future (dead links, etc).
I tried it happily in Xenial & Fossa. If you don't pupsave your config, you will lose your desktop messages & need your mobile each time for entry.

Hi, Thanks for the explanations and sharing.
PS: since I asked the above question in my topic, I will post your reply over there too.
I just installed it in Fossa, but it says that "This version ... has expired." Do you have a newer version? The message also says to go to signal.org/download to get the newest one, but I wouldn't know what to do with it.
. Is this an official Signal app package? If so, could you please provide the source link?
, particularly security-related apps!
