what is the best option for a Chromebook system?? I own a Chromebook but I don’t know what to choose, I can install Linux apps and they’re native and can be used offline, but Progressive Web Apps are smaller in storage!! So that’s nice too, I don’t know, I hope that in the future native apps will still exist.

    Never owned a chromebook but generally, I think PWAs are best for services where you find the web version satisfactory (e.g. Discord if you’re not sharing your screen) or when the native app is just going to present you with the web version in a native window (e.g. Outlook nowadays).

    Native apps are generally the better option for applications that make heavy use of your computer’s special hardware like games, video editors, OBS, etc.
