What is your favorite open source software?

Upgrading the OS is not a trivial thing as would be on a phone or tablet. Also when upgrading the OS it would make sense to upgrade the HW as well, and that is a major investment. And Signal is just not important really to warrant that.

I would still use it on my phone though, but on the PC is just Viber unfortunately (whatsapp dropped as well).

I wouldn’t say upgrading the OS on a phone or tablet is trivial… Especially when compared to a PC. Upgrading the OS on a PC is much easier.

Both is trivial in my opinion. The problem is OP using ancient software that only runs on an ancient OS. In this case upgrading is not trivial. Even though upgrading is a major investment in this case, it only gets worse the later its done. Typical case of technical debt

Well, it depends on the phone and tablet of course, but given how many cannot be rooted anymore thee days, I’d say it’s no longer trivial.
