LOL!

Though as someone who shipped commercial software on Linux, it wasn't that bad, you just had to ship everything other than the kernel.

LOL. Conveniently, electron is everything other than the kernel. Also, as much wasted RAM as an entire second instance of chrome that shares nothing, but oh well.

    Well, with RAM being so cheap, why bother trying to trying to be memory efficient? It's not like OpenAI has an infinite pool of "AI" software engineers to work on this...

    Oh wait...

  • Yeah, but if you use Qt like I did, you're shipping libstdc++, some other crap and Qt.

    • Yeah, I was kind of surprised recently that there's no solid native way to build desktop apps on Linux! I was thinking I'd build something actually native with AI but then the options were QT or or gtk...
