This feels like part of the joke somehow

Linux wins again. Still runs on same hardware as 10 years ago. :) No forced updates by any big corp.

The alternative to Electron not existing is that you have slower developed, clunkier software, that's buggier and has fewer features.

There is no magic bullet of being like 'just code the exact same thing in C'. There are tradeoffs to every development framework.

Bunch of people complaining about electron in this thread but I'm happy it exists.

Without electron you would get way fewer Linux apps and often no GUI to go with them.

The RAM usage is high sometimes but I have 128gb and unused RAM is wasted RAM. I don't care how much something is using until it starts to swap or gets oom.
