Signal desktop [Solved]

[alexjack]

I want to install Signal desktop. It is available as a flatpak via MX package installer, but I have a issue with slow loading of flatpaks. There are instructions on the Signal website to add their repo and install from there (see below). Is this a PPA? If so, I guess I shouldn't consider installing by this method.

Instructions from the Signal website:

# NOTE: These instructions only work for 64 bit Debian-based
# Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, Mint etc.

# 1. Install our official public software signing key
wget -O- https://updates.signal.org/desktop/apt/keys.asc |\
sudo apt-key add -

# 2. Add our repository to your list of repositories
echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://updates.signal.org/desktop/apt xenial main" |\
sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/signal-xenial.list

# 3. Update your package database and install signal
sudo apt update && sudo apt install signal-desktop"

I did it in this way and it works fine.
