That's reasonable. A bit cumbersome, but not too bad. It's a shame the Windows client for Signal is an Electron app, which may or may not run well on a small machine.

Imagine being concerned about privacy to the point of building your own pocket computer to carry instead of a smartphone, and then installing Windows on it. I can't even stop laughing at this
