Damn, no updates for over 2 years… I never bought all the heavenly upgrades but I got close. I’m glad he hasn’t updated it more because I would be all over it again.
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
I recently overheard a conversation at work where a colleague from another team was asking a manager-ish guy whether she could get a wordpress license for a small internal static web page she wanted to whip up really quick. The response was "Why wordpress? We have so many React developers!" which, as one of the React developers in question, just made me want to give up on the whole IT career thing and live in the forest instead

KDE uses plenty of Qt Quick, so there's still JS-type webby stuff going on.
SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org · 5 pts · 227d
That's just all GTK. Gnome is the same.
Buddahriffic@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 227d
Same as in written with heavy JS or can't keep up with mouse updates?
pringus@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 226d
i would start using KDE in a heartbeat if Nvidia GPUs worked properly on it
best DE i've ever tried

Building when you could be buying a solution for a supporting project like this? I wish you good luck finding a better employer.
