Thankyou. Though I do not understand most of what you've written. I am very much at the must-be-handheld-through-most-things stage of the Linux journey. Flathub has been a god-send for this very reason.
right, no problem. The Linux build of Stoat from the website is packaged as portable, precompiled binaries that you can run from any Linux system, immutable (like bazzite, silverblue, steamOS) or not.
It's like any electron app (Discord, StandardNotes, etc) and should generally be good to go from the download.
PWA = Progressive web app, which is a relatively recent web technology that let's you "appify" a website (given it's permitted to do so). This can improve the experience of certain web apps and have them behave more like native ones to an extent. I think PWAs would be a suitable stand-in for electron apps like stoat but the experience may vary based on whether you use chrome(ium) or firefox
If that doesn't work wouldn't installing the RPM in a distrobox and exporting to host be another option? I haven't done this, so I don't know if this would work with notifications etc.
I think that might be preferred to package overlay, yeah!
