    Also I hope it's not a tiny app...or that you don't care about that. The electron minimum weight (let's say a Hello World) is around 115mb :D

    Don't you guys have a terabyte disk?

    Also I have learned that I can install most electrons app from source and use a single copy of electron in my machine, you only need the asar and a little script that executes it... Just saying

    @Jop- I had a PC with 2GB and I could run Chrome and at least 4 Electron apps without problem. That's all a big myth, unless you can prove that.

    The major problem with Electron is probably startup time.

    JavaFX what's that? Something from the 90s?

    Swapfile? That doesn't exist on Windows 10 running on an Intel Atom dual core with 2GB of RAM does it? It was the worst computer you can probably imagine yet it could handle it

    Actually it doesn't, a few minutes after startup the only boggling thing is explorer.exe
