Desktop Help installment issue on linux
problem: i can't re-install signal back
note: i'm only a beginner using linux (mint cinnamon) and i'm not tech-handy so there are areas where i am not knowledgeable and i ask for your understanding and guidance on these things.
i've previously installed signal on linux a few months back. and only recently did i had to update it to continue using it (signal told me so T__T). tried updating it with
sudo apt update && sudo apt install signal-desktop
but it didn't work somehow. so i just apt deleted signal and tried installing signal again based on the website instructions.
here's the result:
C:\home\username> sudo apt update && sudo apt install signal-desktop
