Mac ships with their own posix subsystem, WSL allows you to install a bunch of popular flavours of linux on top of Windows. I personally run Arch Linux and have access to a lot more bleeding edge packages.

Memory problems aren't inherent to electron, they are inherent to html/js apps and you can also see that in chrome by opening up your task manager. Even small websites with minimal content end up taking 100+mb in memory. It has al
