So if you like the app, remember that the ram and the cpu you paid for doesn’t provide value unless it’s doing something. There’s no trophy you get at the end of your life for “most cumulative ram left idle”

This is a damn homicide lmao

Running electron apps becomes a genuine ram issue when running heavy ram workloads like running heavily modded games

Download more ram, problem solved

And very true. 32gb is 99 dollars Australia pesos, 16 is about 70 percent that. What a waste to let it sit around.

The issue is not RAM, it is how slow it performs.

I've never had a problem with the speed of an electron app be it steam or Spotify.
