    right, no problem. The Linux build of Stoat from the website is packaged as portable, precompiled binaries that you can run from any Linux system, immutable (like bazzite, silverblue, steamOS) or not.

    It’s like any electron app (Discord, StandardNotes, etc) and should generally be good to go from the download.

    PWA = Progressive web app, which is a relatively recent web technology that let’s you “appify” a website (given it’s permitted to do so). This can improve the experience of certain web apps and have them behave more like native ones to an extent. I think PWAs would be a suitable stand-in for electron apps like stoat but the experience may vary based on whether you use chrome(ium) or firefox

      After much bumping my head against a wall I found the Web Apps program in the Application Launcher (where the Start button is in Windows) > Internet > Web Apps. This let me do the Progressive Web Apps thing you spoke of.

      Ooft! This is going to be a long journey for me, eh? XD

      If that doesn’t work wouldn’t installing the RPM in a distrobox and exporting to host be another option? I haven’t done this, so I don’t know if this would work with notifications etc.
