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

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

I had a chuckle at this because I know Amazon has a game division but for the life of me I can’t think of a single game they have.

Also I resent it being called “native” when it’s made with electron

Welcome to 2023 where native means a webpage in an embedded browser.

It’s a cool project, but it’s certainly not native (and despite what the other comment says, even in 2023, Electron apps are not native 😅)

Been installing all of my GOG and Epic titles on Nobara with this! Super easy. Just select the Proton version you have installed and you’re good to go!

Real question: how? What does epic games do? Is it privacy stuff? I’m out of the loop. I just get free games and gave a disposable email.
