  • natives apps in principle could be faster and use more of your hardware —in practice though, they tend to be horribly bloated electron crapps.

    Electron “apps” are just glorified web pages anyhow. Native applications do offer superior performance as they are AOT compiled code. The ones that are written in rust, c, c++ etc, and if they are gui applications use frameworks like QT or GTK+. They are called native since they are compiled to machine code and are directly executable in the cpu without any kind of runtime like electron browser, java or python.
