# Linux phones and flathub beta

## Flathub Beta

The beta is out on flathub, the transition from dc-node to jsonrpc rpc binary npm package took its time, but now it’s finally available. If you wonder about version, it’s currently an in-between version between 1.45.4 and the upcoming 1.45.5 test release.

```auto
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub-beta https://flathub.org/beta-repo/flathub-beta.flatpakrepo
flatpak install flathub-beta chat.delta.desktop

```

## Small Screen Mode makes it usable on linux phones.

It got warm, probably because electron is a resource hog. Also beware of the graphical glitches (see the send button).  
Anyways this use case is not officially supported, if you can try deltatouch or maybe the tauri version (That I’ll make soon) works more efficient.  
Or contribute to kdeltachat or one of the other clients ( [List of all known Client Projects](https://support.delta.chat/t/list-of-all-know-client-projects/3059)) to make them a viable alternative in the future, currently there are many missing features in those clients.
