Location of Chrome Web Apps (PWAs)

I use PWAs on my work (Windows 10) and personal (Linux) devices.

I also sometimes "create" these Web Apps using more tools > create shortcut > open in new window and then from chrome://apps right click and create a shortcut in the application menu.

These shortcuts can then be "pinned to dock" (Win10) or "added to favorites" (Linux/Gnome).

Some of the icons have a background that should be transparent instead of black. This is easy to fix.

Where can I find these PWAs on my local devices?
