"Linux users not trustworthy" is an interesting way to avoid answering a technical question for the third time.

You've now admitted Google Lens captures your encrypted QR codes. 
That's a metadata leak: Google knows *when* you communicate, *how often*, and can correlate that with other Android telemetry.

Forward secrecy would protect you even if:
  - Border agents seize your device and extract ~/.aec/identity
  - Supply chain attack compromises the mini PC before you bought it

Signal has forward secrecy. Pond had forward secrecy. OTR has had it since 2004. AEC does not. 
That's a design choice, not a technical limitation.

If "I don't give a fuck about Google metadata" and "Linux sucks" is your security posture, we're optimizing for different adversaries. 

Good luck on the road.
