> Repeat after me: your computer is not the same as everyone else's computer.
You're repeating pretty much what I said, so I really am not receptive to this "repeat after me" statement you're making towards me.
I think I agree with you and see your point, but I see what you wrote as kind of standoffish. Like, post my machine specs? lol There's no need to be that sarcastic.
Also, just because the big Electron apps are a problem for a part of the user base, I don't think that's necessarily evidence that they are an outright problem.
I could just as easily come up with anecdotes of people I know whom aren't developers and run multiple Electron-based apps. It really wouldn't prove anything.
It would certainly be a bigger problem if literally every app is an Electron app. Even in 2021 most of what I'm using isn't using a browser engine. Then again, maybe there are plenty of circumstances where people are forced to use lots of apps that all bundle browser engines. I really don't have much knowledge about that. Maybe this is way more common than I've been lead to believe.
My original question was really about just how prevalent the need for apps smaller than 140 MB actually is. As far as I can tell, that's a valid question, even if some of my premise was out of ignorance.
