The desktop client is in beta right now. I should go public by next week for all platforms save windows. Windows is planned for about a week later. However, in the first phase, there will be no account syncing. So you will need one account for each device.
Signal is wannabe private because of phone number, metadata and contacts mining (even though they say they don’t, they can). Simplex looks promising and the guy is headed in the right direction. As soon as he makes it that the servers cannot correlate which IP is talking to which IP, I will say they are a really good solution. Telling people to use Tor with your app for privacy is not a solution.
Besides that, it is a very well made app that has a nice UI and works very well. Also many good features.
I would use simplex if there was a desktop client. I like Signal because I can use it across all my devices.

It runs well enough in Windows Subsystem for Android!
Right, you can just use an Emulator. If the apk runs on x86 not even that, Waydroid on Linux works natively
