What are the "app dock" apps on your phone? Are they FOSS? (reddthat.com)

Go to your phone homescreen and look at the app dock (the bottom row that contains some apps and stays the same when you switch pages).

Which are yours? Any FOSS apps?

In my case, they are FDroid, Signal, Threema, Firefox and the defaul Samsung camera app. So, 80% FOSS..

@opensourceopenmind @drew_belloc @noodlejetski Is this the Signal desktop app?

@DF5RE @drew_belloc @noodlejetski Yes, all apps on Linux mobile are AArch64 builds of the desktop apps. On #Flathub, you can filter by architecture to see what apps can be installed.

@opensourceopenmind @drew_belloc @noodlejetski On Flathub, I cannot find an Aarch64 build of the Signal Desktop app. Where did you get it from?

@DF5RE @drew_belloc @noodlejetski The ARM build of the flatpak is listed here: https://linuxphoneapps.org/apps/org.signal.signal/
