Tech Talk: How Electron went Wayland-native, and what it means for your apps | Electron

Replies (5)

  • I hate Electron apps with a passion. They are always so heavy and inefficient. I sometimes run complex video encoding/upscaling tasks in the background that push my computer to its limits (for hours on end) and you can really get a feel for which applications are badly made. Electron apps always perform worse even if what they are doing is relatively simple. And there are always weird edge cases with OS integration with Electron apps. Sometimes it's done well, other times not so much.

    It''s neat to learn about CSD. That flat frameless window with a custom title bar look is what I dislike the most about electron applications. Hopefully those become less apparent with these new updates.

    Electron's Wayland implementation continues to be buggy: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/48859 So if I'm thinking of a framework that won't cause trouble with Wayland, it's not Electron.
