This is not even mental gymnastics at that point.

Mental... contortionist?
I'm pretty sure you guys just took the bait. This is either satire or ragebait.

Amongst the apps mentioned as bloated on Windows were Teams, Discord (major offender) and WhatsApp. The latter is a curious case because a Universal Windows app existed (now being deprecated I guess?) that was more memory efficient than the Web wrapper.
And in case, someone in interested there is a terminal client for WhatsApp (and Telegram) called nchat. Sure, it is not at feature parity with web client (images is a big problem, for obvious reasons) but the simple fact that a third party client taking so little resources exists is a damning indictment of Meta. It shows that resource efficient clients are possible (provided the parent company junks the metaverse).
I'm glad I'm not this guy
Sure, except that end user market share for MacOS is larger than Linux probably
Depends, apple & linux are toe to toe in the research world.
I feel the opposite. I expect things NOT to work on linux.
Just wait until they figure out Mac has been an OS just as long as MSDOS
And that macos often breaks things because of new access/'security' policies hehe.
Also, to counter all of this : c++ & qt or .net and avalonia (because maui doesnt support linux.. )
KDE Maui does, but Microsoft Maui doesn't .
(Sorry, I know you were referring to Microsoft Maui, I was just annoyed at being reminded how Microsoft stole the name: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Microsoft-KDE-MAUI )

Boy, imagine when that idiot finds out about iphones and android!
More wishful thinking of this person than fact. The more to SPA and all the focus on javascript frameworks is more likely to be related to this shift than linux. But I get it, the writer knows that the ground is shifting and is trying to connect things that they and other people dislike.
Welp, that's an opinion one can have. whatyoujustsaid.gif
VSCode is super light on resources on linux, I have two running right now and they don't break the top ten on btop (often). It can be done right, rarely is, but it can be. Generally electron is badly used, probably a skill issue, seeing as the skill is locked behind useless documentation, proprietary BS and whatever, but the ppl who made it actually make it work, might be black magic or chicken sacrifice...
Someone's actually gonna take this seriously, and they're right.
Thereβs something to be said for its scripting accessibility, too. Hence the many fabulous VSCode extensions.

Fascinating. Please carry on.
Why did you cut out the author's name? :)
It is a generic one at a forum. The screenshot is from the comment section of Windows Latest site.
Back in the day on Reddit, some subs had a rule where names had to be blurred or removed. Since then, it is reflex for me to just cut out the author's name (not that it mattered in this specific case).
I found the article and the comment, if you're curious:
That's such bullshit! Those supposedly cross platform shit are the least compatible softwares you can make! What can of idiot can pretend it's used because of Linux?
Regardless of the stuff that needs to be done for crossplatform development, building a native Windows version without looking at Linux isn't hindered by Linux at all. That's like saying you can't drive your car because another car exists.
I still have a Google pixel book that basically is just online only.
Imagine the stupidest person on earth. Now realize this guy to the right of that.
The problem is that mobile versions of the app is expected, and maybe also a web version. And then it should work on Mac as well. Linux is just a tiny fraction of the market share.
Each platform would require their own team if developed natively. Thatβs a huge headache to coordinate all features between the teams. Letβs build just one cross platform application which one team can be in charge over.
The fun thing is that those supposed cross platform framework also require a full team for each platform.
That's cute
