People install McAfee, Epic and CCleaner?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Epic is nice for free shit and drm free games.

Still not an enough reason to install that Tencent spyware imo.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

When I was on Windows that shit failed to connect to the Internet half of the time anyway. Biggest reason I preferred steam out of the two.

Until the launcher wanted to add kernel level "anti cheat". Then Lemmy told me about Heroic... :-D

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, I use Heroic Launcher just because I'm a Linux user. Anything native is always better than running it in wine, nothing against wine.

Unironically you're missing the point. The point being, it's not a problem for many apps to start because oh how powerful PCs got. The problem is when some apps use so much resources that regardless of how powerful your PC gets, it's wasteful to have them opened all the time.

Reason for that problem is them using unoptimized frameworks such as Electron and CEF (seriously, check each app on the image).

And main reasons for that are:

Google posing browser component as a GUI framework.
Devs not caring (or being lazy) enough to do native coding.

I wish every person would realize the above so we could force developers do their job better.
