I like Slack and similar having their own icon and entry in the alt-tab switcher. Absent ubiquitous PWA support, electron is sort of the least bad alternative.
You can kind of do this with Chrome for any website. More tools->create shortcut in the menu.

And when there is no driver available the only option you have is to buy a new device. None of my 4(4!) Sound devices work with a current linux distribution. Not the Realtek Chip on my x570 board, not my logitech webcam, not the speakers in my monitor via hdmi and not my USB Sound Card from Creative. Not even the onboard Realtek Lan controller works, i had to buy a usb one. Oh and, i had to plug the cord from all sou…
Really? My monitor via HDMI works fine, my Sound Blaster works, my onboard card works, my camera's microphone works. Odd that you'd be so unlucky.
Ive just bought those parts because they had the best performance and features for their price point, i could literally spend over a thousand euros more to only get a little bit more features or performance. I kinda had hopes that nearly everyone who would build a rig these days would buy those and because of that someone would have made them linux compatible in the last two years.
I have been running Linux on all my personal machines for the last 8 years and I have to say that one thing windows has going for it is it’s graphics system. I have super sensitive eyes and I have to say that even wayland does not cut it when compared to windows. Everywhere else Linux on desktop is either far better or a bit behind but workable
I'm not following; what are your eyes sensitive to / what problem to you perceive in the *nix GUI stack?
I think this kind of argument works both ways
Attacking servers is harder and probably may give you better "reward" (stolen data), but...
Attacking normal people is easier (I think its fair to assume normal user is worse at computers than e.g trained admin), so you can do it at bigger scale and normal user may not want to sue/find you/call cops meanwhile if you're hacking companies then things are more likely to be very serious.
Thus, both are under constant attacks.
I know quite a lot of folks here are fed up with moves away from native apps and towards Electron-wrapped web apps (and often for totally valid reasons) but it's been a godsend for making Linux a usable daily driver OS. IMO if you're doing eg web dev work in a GSuite / Slack / Figma / etc organization, it's never been a better time to try desktop Linux!
Why do you need web apps wrapped in their own window, though? Just open a browser. Relatedly, Electron is a problem because desktop apps nowadays require a huge browser just to display a window, not because web apps are packaged in a browser to get slightly better desktop integration.

Arch doesn't force auto-updates, so ... try again?
but it does brick Been there, done that, didn't get a T-shirt but a lot of scorn from IRC

Sounds like there is an opportunity for someone to provide a way to display an icon in the window manager that saves a gigabyte of RAM. :D
Chrome apps?
