Notice
Arch ARM and flatpak builds were evaluated. It fits the screen mostly okay without scale-to-fit for the chat and phone UI after setting recommended env vars (you won't see what you type), scale-to-fit makes the app behave worse in many circumstances. Voice calls work, the button to hang up is invisible, just tap the center of the lower half, chat while video/audio makes the window far two wide (somewhat usable in landscape). Video calls don't work out of the box but may work after setting up camera/video pipelines properly.
