From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

VSCode is the only Electron program I know of that does not feel like using McDonald's kiosk on virtual machine over remote desktop.

I'm thinking of making an Android app with electron (NC I don't know Java Kotlin whatever lmao) is performance that bad?

Electron is for desktops OSes, so I think SE are talking about different things.

And it's not only about performance, even when that programs are running on best machines it still looks like alien and not fit.
