How can I install websites as apps?

I tried installing Linux Mint’s webapp manager via some unofficial copr repo, but I can’t even click the plus button. Is there any way in Fedora that I can do this? I am using the KDE Plasma spin.

Welcome to Fedora @sctech

Question: Why the Workstation tag if you use KDE? Did you install on a Workstation the KDE-Plasma desktop?

Fedora is a RHEL based Linux while Linux Mint is a Debian/Ubuntu based Linux. The paths and some specific configuration files will probably be different to install it on Fedora.

Eventually a Flatpak app would working?!

In addition to what @ilikelinux wrote, if you only want to make websites easily launchable by creating a custom/isolated startup container for them, you should be able to do this in most Chromium based browsers. I’ve used Brave Browser in the past and this has a “Create web app” option in it’s menu.

I had this train of flags on surf for a game window to make it as-close to a standalone app as possible:

GDK_BACKEND='x11' surf -a 'a' -b -D -f -g -I -k -m -n -S -t -x 'http://localhost:8888'

sorry, i forgot to say i use firefox.

this is the answer for me - thanks!
