It didn't cause problems since i have a lot of RAM but i still hold the opinion that just because we have a lot of RAM, we don't need to waste it. We could keep being efficient about it and get even more out of the same amount of RAM, you know. That said, if Tauri lowers the RAM usage of the same applications i'm looking forward to it.
Your kernel allocates all the ram anyway lol, it literally changes nothing to you
Hmm yeah, but what if applications had to ask for less memory from the kernel?
that would change nothing to you. Unless they are seriously consuming a lot of memory and filling up processes while not needed, then it’s fine. Otherwise it means the app was developed by a bunch of monkey, but that could happen - maybe even more likely - with native software as well.
Tldr: to the end user it changes literally nothing nowadays, to the companies and the devs it changes quite a lot. And to some degree, end-users won’t have to deal with shitty ugly apps (unless the designers are jerks, in which case you are probably working in the same company as me)
