The advanced thin flux tube approximation for force-free thin magnetic flux tubes is used to derive a dispersion relation for linear waves. All wave modes appear to be coupled in a twisted flux tube. In the case of a weakly twisted flux tube, it has been found that torsional Alfvén waves have dispersion and produce pressure and temperature fluctuations. The effect of tube rotation is pointed out. These properties of linear waves have an impact on prominence oscillations.
