Every Windows 11 app should kill Electron, and Discord just showed why: no “Starting” screen and 70% less RAM, even with two accounts signed in

Discord’s Rust client opens before the Electron app finishes loading, skips the Starting screen and uses 290MB of RAM with two accounts.

    Is this approach cross platform (meaning does it have Linux support for example) or are they talking about just Windows support? Isn’t the whole point of Electron that it is cross platform, not that it is fast or resource efficient?

      The article claims the new app uses GPUI which is cross platform, so there is no reason it won’t come to Linux too.
