Still naive, eh ? I would be extremely wary of following in Google's footsteps : the use Chrome(ium) and their web apps as a trojan horse to wrestle control of general computing from the OS and native apps.
And it typically results in a worse user experience, because you lose performance by running in an emulator (and/or the extra, always somewhat leaky, layers of abstraction complicate the developer's job), and the browser's interface gets in the way.
So no, please do NOT write code for the web (except if your program is extremely basic and you don't think it will ever get more complex), write code for Linix (or other libre software/hardware, and excepting the likes of Android) - Librem 5 and PinePhone are particularly in need of your help, since they have quite the task ahead of them, going against Google, Apple, and Huawei.
