    Yes this is really wtf.

    Linux even has a webview. KDE has QtWebengine, GNOME has WebkitGTK.

    There also is Tauri, which seems to be a way better solution.

    I rely on 4 Electron apps and hate it.

    (Signal, MullvadVPN, Nextcloud, FreeTube)

    I am pretty certain those are the reason why my RAM use is to huge, 6GB with no open apps!

    ChromeOS is so nice because all these optimized apps simply really run in the same browser. Android the same.

    I think Windows (and MacOS?)are also pretty good there… because they have marketshare.

    But well, did you know Office 365 for Mac is 5,2GB???

      Interestingly, Simplex usually consumes more than Freetube (my only Electron program) as well!

      My biggest hope is on a third-party client, but I guess it won’t be until the project matures more.
