So far the desktop version is only a "slave app" to the one on your iphone or android phone as you can't register an account with the desktop app without a SIM.
For running it on mobian I think the choice is either using anbox + android signal OR using axolotl directly which is a separate unofficial client for signal.
I heard of people on reddit trying to compile the desktop version for mobile but it never worked and I'm not very optimistic about this approach (signal desktop is notoriously heavy on desktop already...).
Try them out and don't forget to tell us! I'm waiting for signal to work on the pinephone to switch to is as my daily driver. All I need is Signal and Anki / Ankidroid.
