Is Medal still coming to Linux?

So i saw this post from three years ago about medal coming to Linux, the CEO and the tech support both said it was in progress, but they never updated. So i was wondering if they were still planning to do it, especially since Linux gaming exploded recently. Medal is the only app so far that i'm missing from Windows that isn't compatible using Wine. And if anybody knows how to get it running on Linux at the moment i'd love to hear your solution. (I'm on CachyOS, Arch based distro that works very well for gaming)

RCS messaging apps

Hello everyone! I've been on a de-googling journey for a while I've been slowly optimizing my GrapheneOS for the last two weeks and fixing tiny things/features bit by bit and now I've come to only one thing that I am missing from my regular pixel : Google messaging with RCS text messages.

I've become so used to the reply feature & to reacting with emojis that now using regular SMS just feels obsolete and I can't get used to it at all. And I receive the awkward texts saying that someone hearted my message and stuff like that. The grapheneOS messaging app doesn't seem to include RCS messages. I searched everywhere in it's (very few) settings. I even tried Fossify messages and it wouldn't have RCS messages as well and showed my contacts by phone numbers instead of names. It was so annoying, I hated it.

So now I'm wondering if there are any apps other than Google messages that can use RCS text messaging.

Thanks in advance, this community has been amazing so far and I love engaging with it and sharing my own solutions to certain problems that I've solved on my end.

Recommended NFC wallet app

Hey everyone I'm looking for an app to pay using my phone. I dont wanna use Google wallet for obvious reasons. I have Klarna for loyalty cards, but I prefer to keep it offline so there's no adds and it runs better. I wanna keep Klatna exclusively for loyalty card and not bank cards. Does anybody have any suggestions? I was so disappointed to find out Proton Wallet works only for bitcoin...

Thanks in advance!

Edit : I'm in Canada

Microphone issue on certain apps

Hey everyone! I recently switched to Graphene OS a week ago on my quest to de-googling and I've been loving it so far, but I'm not gonna lie I've been having some issues with Fossify Contacts and Fossify messages only showing phone numbers in notifications and other minor things like that. BUT, I'll deal with these another day since they're minimal issues.

My current frustrating problem is that the microphone doesn't work on certain apps despite having full access to it. Has anyone else ever experienced this before? Voice messages on FB Messenger works, microphone works while taking videos with the camera, but it doesn't work on Duolingo and Waze. I can't start a Duolingo speaking course, it won't even open and it'll say it ran Into an issue. On Waze while trying the new voice report feature it instantly closes when I turn it on and says to try again later. Google Play Services is denied microphone permissions, coule that be it?

If anyone had ever experienced this and is willing to share their wisdom I'd appreciate it a lot, please!
