People that are upset about electron should consider it’s not:
Electron App vs Wonderful Fully Supported Native Linux Application
The reality is that your choice is largely:
Electron App vs No App (maybe running their windows app in wine if you can get that to work)
It’s not like companies are going to go build a native linux app but electron got in their way. It was always electron or no support.
So if you like the app, remember that the ram and the cpu you paid for doesn’t provide value unless it’s doing something. There’s no trophy you get at the end of your life for “most cumulative ram left idle”
It could be doing so much more if you hadn't gone with Electron you fuck
Right? Why are people talking like this? You don’t see Kubernetes and more generally, servers being looked at this way. We optimize like hell to make things fast, responsive and resource-efficient but on the desktop we just stopped caring or we just got very spoiled and lazy.
