“native” apps tend to work a lot better when the system is under pressure

Well yeah, that's pretty much a given.
I really hope recent lack of powerful computers drives up demand and willingness to make more native apps, but I'm not expecting anything.

    I was told by an Electron user that the Framework itself isn't bad.
    It's probably the types of users (framework users = application devs) that it attracts that are giving it a bad name.

    But I won't know much. I myself have only used QML for similar stuff.
    And I have seen it to be pretty easy to make a mess out of.

    So yeah, the same app dev might have made a shitty web-app instead. And I had heard of some Electron app that was actually good (forgot it though). Still not going to bother with them, though.

    Considering that whenever I am gaming, the game is using all the VRAM it can, I'd rather not have more stuff be GPU accelerated. CPU cores are mostly freely available.

    Since my tasks on the terminal are pretty basic, the runtime speeds don't matter much.

    In another use case, Kitty is much faster at startup than Konsole, most probably because of plugins, shared libraries, d-bus actions, etc. but then Kitty cannot beat st and its extra features are not particularly needed by me.

    So yeah, perhaps if you can get st working in your setup, that might be a nice experience. Although that one would have other problems:

    • I don't know if it has tab theming. The tab functionality itself was a patch IIRC
    • It makes an X11 window, so you will have to worry about XWayland issues

    There might be some project trying to get a Wayland version of a st-like terminal emulator, which might work out for you.

    like their full of rooster jizz

    Hehe, all animals embryos are made of animal jizz.
    Still better than stuff made out of the intestines which might have some remnant faecal matter if not cleaned properly.


    I thought it would be something about eating a future-chicken vs eating an egg that would otherwise just rot away or be eaten by the chicken that laid it.
