That’s what you get for making apps with fucking Electron, aka “a Chrome browser that only opens a single website”

IDK, my Steam client starts right away pretty much and my computer is not very fast or new.

It’s probably running in the background. You have to be very forceful if you don’t want it doing that

Whatever happened with the hardware acceleration on Linux? I swear I read they made it fully work on Linux with the new interface but it still seems choppy, maybe even more than before

What makes me confused is that the epic games website is a lot quicker than their app. I reckon they’re not using electron and maybe are using something much worse. Not sure if it was a joke but long ago I’ve heard someone suggesting it was actually unreal engine and not electron

Huh, I always thought it was Electron, because I’ve had an older version of EGS show some fonts in super low res, much like Discord did, which is a known bug with Electron and hardware acceleration

That’s probably mostly Flutter, which is slightly different scope, though still Google
