Sometimes it is even worse, as some apps get native clients on mac/windows but for linux, the webapp packaged as electron is “good enough”

Hardware keeps getting kore powerful but programs aren’t really doing anything more for us. Games look pretty much the same at anything but the highest settings and a browser does the same shit it did ten years ago, but with all this hardware the devopers stopped giving a shit. “Who cares if it’s good for a 2070, a handful of 5090s exist!”

I would be interested in seeing how you have it set up that firefox or linux are using any substantial amount of ram. That wouldn't have anything to do with 'badly written code'.

Correct! The difference is the OS.

Windows is a ram hog. Using 4GB or more just to exist. Linux uses 1-2GB, sometimes less.

Microsoft FORCES electron web components.

Linux has choice.

So yes, linux has electron as well, but Linux is a lot lighter and nowhere near a hog like windows.

Don't remind me, I am high on copium right now. I can't even play any of my steam games, but I have my Miyoo Mini+, so I'm surviving haha
