Interesting take on comparability vs performance. I gotta imaging capturing user data and sending to a cloud collector is also a big culprit.

I have a love/hate relationship with desktop web apps on Linux. They are a great blessing in some ways because I get to run apps that just wouldn't be available to me otherwise because Linux typically isn't a priority for consumer-focused services. Often support exists as a convenient bonus because it came with the web app platform choice.

On the other hand, you get a web app, which looks nice (hopefully) but gobbles down your resources.

There should be a way to limit cpu usage and nem usage for a pwa on Linux. Definitely something I should look into.

How are you running pwas on Linux?
