Often I find people making fun of things moving into the browser rather than just running as software but the fact is the browser increasingly works better than my regular OS. Like in my experience Linux works universally quite poorly at most GUI things I want to use it for, Android works a bit better than that, & Chrome works much better than *that*. Chromebooks would sound like a great idea to me if only I trusted Google (and if I didn't believe everyone developing ChromeOS is using a MacBook)
The idea solution of course would be if there were a FirefoxOS (*sobs quietly*)
The browser platform has been vastly more standardized than the desktop ones. And since many new desktop apps are based on Electron, and PWAs are more and more capables, there makes less and less sense to use desktop apps.
But I think it is a really bad idea to depend of one of them, because they tend to suddenly disappear with little or no warning. So I limit them to non-critical tasks.
Judging from ChromeOS evolution, by now FirefoxOS would have gained the ability to run all Linux apps and, de facto, become a standard Linux distro with PWA functionalities.
Seriously, why is it I can't install PWAs in Ubuntu the same as in Windows or Android?
