All of these works depends what you want to do, but easiest way is just to use flatpak

[image] olumolu: Second approch This snap approach would work in Ubuntu but not in Fedora Silverblue. The first approach wouldn’t apply either since Silverblue does use dnf to install packages. It uses instead rpm-ostree.

Install package network:im:signal / signal-desktop
