      You mean electron based apps? Yea I hate those. Discord, Slack are the worst. MS teams is cancer.

      l personally don’t mind apps you can load through your favorite browser. Instant cross platform compatibility. I think there are some arbitrary connection limitations that make bandwidth or latency intensive apps less than ideal though.

        good lord I can shittalk ms teams for days on end

        technical architecture problems aside,

        one of the smaller issues that has verifiably taken years off my life is how it decides to alert you with messages

        coworker in the misc channel: anyone know how to fix a lawnmower?

        ms teams: HOLY SHIT. HOLY FUCKING SHIT. YOU HAVE A MESSAGE. CHECK YOUR GODDAMN INBOX ASAP MOTHERFUCKER. DING DING DING

        manager: call me urgently.

        ms-teams: lmao who said that

        There’s some web-based technologies that work better than Electron. React Native for desktop works pretty well and uses native UI widgets, but unfortunately there’s no Linux version (just Windows and MacOS).

        Exactly. These people who say crap like this ether never used ChromeOS or think it never evolved beyond 2011.

          Changes absolutely nothing about what I said.

          But the world changed and applications in ChromeOS aren’t solely browser applets any longer.

              Considering I haven’t claimed all ChromeOS applications are browser applets, I’m not sure what you expect as a reply.

              So you made a random off-topic comment. Got it. That’s certainly one way to deal with having been wrong in the actual context of the post.

      Incorrect. ChromeOS natively runs both APKs and Linux installs. I have the full Play Store, FDroid, and Linux CLI at my fingertips.
