Comment on RAM prices soar, but popular Windows 11 apps are using more RAM due to Electron, Web components
fuzzzerd@programming.dev 2 weeks agoI hate that you are right. Giving up electron would likely mean less Linux and mac compatibility. It’s a shame, but it’s likely true.

For commercial software, definitely. It’d be web and MAYBE Windows unless there’s a Qt nerd spearheading the project or something.
FOSS is actually better off here IMO, since it’s done by people as passion projects, so there’s no need to pinch pennies by eliminating target platforms. HOWEVER there’d also be more need for the devs to have different platforms to test on.
