Well I mean linux has electron apps too

[–] baconsunday@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

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.

It does, but you can stick to IRC instead of Discord for example
