Well, sorry to report, this is essentially a mac-only application at this point. A friend installed it on his mac and it installed and ran fine (for the most part.)
Impervious released the linux install as a zip file and its broken in many ways. After first running the application to avoid the dependency nightmare associated with a static compile in a zip file. Very amateurish to release it in this way.
The program got confused after trying to run it once, and even after scouring my home directory for storage folders in 4 different hidden places and trying start over, it just hangs and complains about not being able to find some video driver libraries.
Also, my friend tried running it while talking with me over a signal call and impervious screwed with his microphone channel and caused interference with the audio stream. he had to kill the program to get rid of the noise. Strange that one privacy application could have any impact over another privacy application.
Unfortunately it doesn't work on my Mac M1

Works on mine, What doesn't work?
Edit: I see your comment about Ventura. Could be the issue

Somehow my post was truncated by phone editing. I was suggesting they make a flatpak or snap install for linux rather than this zip crap. I'm not about to invest two hours trying to compile it for myself given the experience of the other respondent. The whole idea of a chat and file sharing app is that more than just you can use it. Ease of deployment is crucial because you need computer illiterate people to be able to use it, otherwise it's just a tool for geeks. I look forward to improvements, this has a lot of potential.

It works fine for me.
