More electron apps.

  Only if people make more usage of worker threads.

    Not faster electron apps, just more. One per core.

  That's more of a memory bottleneck though.

    Yeah indeed chromium is a more efficient 2D rendering engine than what's available natively and performance of JS is comparable to Java. Electron apps being slow is mostly a developer laziness problem, not a technology problem. Making a fast electron app is actually easier than making a fast C++ app IMO, when you take into account the libraries and tooling available.

      I think the difficulty is in making a lightweight Electron app, not a fast one. Games run fast too, but they can get away with hogging resources because they're typically the only app you're using at the time.

        This is a good article on the technical reasons Finda uses electron to make a portable, yet fast & lightweight desktop search app: https://keminglabs.com/blog/building-a-fast-electron-app-with-rust/ https://keminglabs.com/blog/building-a-fast-electron-app-wit...

      It's not more efficient than directly using skia or cairo. Not on ARMv7 anyway.

  Sadly, I'm afraid you're right. I love my 1920X for making a modern desktop snappy. I hate Discord, chrome et. al for needing one.

    Max spec KDE with ALL batteries included on a 12 year old laptop computer with a new cheap Crucial SSD even with the old UDMA-6 is ultra low latency and very snappy. KDE is an excellent Mac replacement for power users.
