Although all sides should be interested in getting linphone working well on all platforms, the team primarily in charge of your version, would be
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/VoIP with a mailing list similar to this one https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-voip-maintainers and IRC/Matrix chat options. For an impression of their problems and progress, https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=linphone I've noticed that in bookworm, the transitional linphone metapackage and the linphone-desktop pkg, are stuck at 4.4.10, while everything else corresponds to 5.1.65, only sid aka unstable has linphone-desktop 5.2.6, so some problem there must be, but it's hard to tell at a glance which functionality exactly depends on -desktop vs. the other parts. Linphone/Belledonne Communications themselves distribute the linux app as a self-contained, executable appimage, a list of versions is here: https://download.linphone.org/releases/linux/app/ the current official, brand new version also linked from the main website, is the last one, 6.0.0. chat edition; 5.2.6 would be a more conservative pick without the lastest features, but with potentially less surprises. The optional .sha256 files are text files containing a hash that allows verifying the integrity of the downloaded file with the sha256 command. AppImages need to be made executable, then executed. The easiest way of testing the appimage from linphone.org without affecting- and getting affected by the existing debian linphone install and its user config, would be creating a new user (that you can always remove later, together with the corresponding home directory), see man adduser, man deluser, or the desktop's settings GUI for managing users & groups. Hope this helps, J.
