they are not electron but iirc they are written in javascript
however many 1st party microsoft apps on windows, even windows-only apps, are written as edge webviews. still not electron but basically the same, really
Oh, is this why even opening folders in windows is so slow? Explorer at my work computer shows a message like “still working” for multiple seconds before showing something like 12 files. It’s really shitty.
Cinnamon desktop on linux distros is based on some JS-related language. Glad to be on KDE now, it caused cinnamon to be slow enough to drop mouse updates depending on what else was going on (despite my PC being fairly high end), while KDE is always responsive.
Sucks that they don’t and that they don’t do the open source thing so that the community could improve the quality. Is it because of wayland or something else that it isn’t fully compatible?
It’s something to do with VRAM not being properly shared with background programs, causing them to malfunction and crash IIRC, and would probably be a non-issue if Nvidia released proper documentation
wayland is super smooth and fast beyond that issue
Are there really OS UI elements written as electron apps?!
Windows 11 start menu and taskbar, iirc

i would start using KDE in a heartbeat if Nvidia GPUs worked properly on it
best DE i’ve ever tried
