I have a fresh install of 13.0-Release on a ThinkPad T460. Suspend and resume works as expected from X or Terminal environments using acpiconf -s 3.

I was just wondering if someone would be interested in porting signalapp / Signal-Desktop or if there is specific reason why it hasn't been ported yet (Linux only?). P.S. I'm not using FreeBSD (waiting for 13.0 RELEASE to go onto my new laptop) or Signal yet, nor am I a developer, so this is...
