This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Tauri is the way to go ; so that every app doesn't each embed another web browser that makes for 90% of the file size.
Tauri doesn't automatically make apps perform good. Easy and common pitfalls still can make it go to a crawl just like electron.
Yaak is an example of a tauri app that performs horribly, and that can't reach a satisfactory 30fps on modern hardware. The issue is within how tauri interacts with the js world and syncs state.
And the Apollo was launched with 4KB of ram.
4kb of RAM and an office packed with hundreds of engineers using slide rules, sure.
They used Cloud Computation and AI ("Actually Interns") way before it was cool.
Native apps are so much better, on every platform.
The JavaScript must flow….
I have an M1 Macbook Air with 8 gb of ram, it performs great for everything I want to do with it – except for the fact that a ”few” active browser tabs are enough to bring the memory pressure to the pain point. Editing HD video? Reasonably snappy for an old, base spec laptop. Browsing a news site? Potato.
I have couple of old 8 gb sticks from my old 960 GPU pc. Is there any way for me to stick it onto my new pc and have only certain app use it and nothing else?
Only for multi CPU mobos (and that would be pinning a thread to a CPU/core with NUMA enabled where a task accessed local ram instead of all system ram). Even then, I think all ram would run at the lowest frequency.
I've never mixed CPUs and RAM speeds. I've only ever worked on systems with matching CPUs and ram modules.
I think the hardware cost and software complexity to achieve this is beyond the cost of "more ram" or "faster storage (for faster swap)"
Meanwhile, on my Linux system I use about 20% of my ram idling around and it doesn't really budge. I've only got 16gb
I left windows just 2 months ago to use a MacBook for work.
In both computers I had 16gb of ram.
Windows usage was significantly higher in regard to ram usage.
I use today Linux is way more efficient, but after seeing similar efficiency with Mac, I’m changing my language to say Windows is extremely inefficient.
