Looking for a Lemmy client for my desktop, archlinux. Was hoping for a good community recommendation and preferably open source.

Yep. Technically it just creates a new tab that creates a popup with the requested URL and the created tab closes itself after the popup was created. So not really a PWA but just a popup with a website in it, but in most cases this is absolutely fine since you’re online anyways, and modern browsers are good with caching.
Oh I had this recently with a normal website and it is extremely strange.
No, I dont think thats the same
Chromium has quite nice integration in Linux, even though for sure its bad, but I use it instead of Electron.
Yes, this is not a PWA system but an SSB implementation. In the context of this thread it’s fine since Lemmy is useless without Internet connection, so why bother with persistent local storage and not just rely on browser cache?
On Linux you can create a simple .desktop file and place it where your system can load it. It will be automatically placed in places where your other application’s desktop files are shown. On Windows you can create a shortcut and change the shortcut’s icon and place the shortcut file wherever you want.
I use this technique on my private Linux machines as well as on my work laptop (Windows 10).
