It's sad that all of those things were solved problems 20 years ago.
Like, Skype was usable on pretty much any computer with a webcam in 2006. Computers booted in a couple minutes with their spinning disk drives.
The tech is faster, more reliable, higher resolution, etc, but the software is fucking ass.
Using electron for seemingly every app will do that.
Yeah I doubt that's the issue on a PC with 64GB RAM.
Probably more to do with the fact that every app is now designed to gather as much data as possible to build an ad profile on you.
