Microsoft wants devs to build Electron AI apps on Windows 11, says no need of native code, despite RAM concerns - Reddthat

>Electron apps are ruining the Windows 11 experience, and even the JavaScript creator has warned against ‘rushed web UX over native,’ but it doesn’t look like that will change Microsoft’s plans. In a post on X and other places, Microsoft reaffirmed its commitment to AI in Windows 11 and encouraged Electron developers to consider using AI in their apps.

Today it took almost 30 seconds for the context menu to appear when I right clicked on a file in windows explorer. God forbid they make an actually responsive UI.

(Inb4 “install linux”, it’s a work computer and I don’t get a say in OS)

Even in the browser Outlook (a Microslop web app running on a Microslop browser) sometimes takes up to a minute to load on refresh. HOW!? God I hate that company.

I’ve never had outlook take long, always done in about 5 seconds. Firefox too, which would be the last to optimise for.
