Linux Phone Apps for bare minimum daily driver

• Signal

• Email

Apps

Task	App	Install Experience	User Experience
Signal	Axolotl	Would not install. Had missing dependencies which were not available.
Signal	Flare	Flatpak installed after second attempt.	Easy to link. Working. Had to enable notifications.
Spotify	Spot	Easy from Software app	Doesn’t work due to an Upstream Auth failure a month ago. I expect this will be fixed shortly according to this.
Email	Geary	Built-in. Online accounts do not support active sync so had to configure IMAP instead. IMAP has worked for Microsoft Exchange Activesync and iCloud.	So far so good.
