I do have a mobile number which is for a flip phone, not an app phone -- is there some way that number can be used to set up Signal on Ubuntu?
I don't think so. For a moment I thought you might put your SIM in someone friend's phone long enough to set up Signal, but I think the Linux version will quit working once you take your SIM back and your friend deletes Signal from the phone.
I think the Signal people are sympathetic to your plight, but I think they don't want a low friction flood of bot-like accounts. Not only would it make Signal spam a problem (I have received almost zero in the several years I have been on Signal), they would have to pay the server costs for extra traffic.
