I've been using Obtainium to get Signal on my Android phone, so far it's been good, though Signal has not had an update yet, so we'll see how it goes at that point
### Cosmic's 1st Alpha Release is Here
>The Cosmic desktop environment is a new DE brought to us by System76
System76's long awaited Cosmic desktop environment is finally here in it's first Alpha release.
If you want to try out Cosmic, running on the PopOS! distribution, you can grab a copy of the disk image 👉 [here](https://blog.system76.com/post/cosmic-alpha-released-heres-what-people-are-saying).
[Ventoy](nostr:nevent1qqs8kcajt8aydxjacw4ta8exv7vawn8p2n8m7k9jwuauzqgpgqxfx3cpzdmhxw309akx7cmpd35x7um58g6rsd3eqgsym07t03wahqjfl8r7hrppuqvlpralklk9mm25pzmpgkgtawx3d9grqsqqqqqp7s2fx5) would be great for trying out Cosmic on a USB stick. (Just note that running anything from a USB stick is much slower.)
