Meanwhile the electron app you're trying to run

    The other day my laptop was sluggish as hell, checked top and turns out Discord and Orca Slicer were maxing out my cores

    Is Orca that resource intensive? I'm running it in a container with KasmVNC and have never really checked out the resource usage. Admittedly it's on one of my local servers in another room. I guess it's how large your projects are too.

    Edit: maybe it's just my small projects

    What's the benefit of running Discord's app instead of just using it as a PWA? A PWA would reuse your existing browser and its session.

    Global keyboard shortcuts are pretty nice. E.g. muting yourself without alt tabbing to your browser.

    Oh that's a good point. I totally forgot that Discord has voice features. don't use Discord often, and when I do, it's just for text chat. Unfortunately some open source apps I use use Discord for communicating with the developers.

    And your browser with 300 open tabs doesn't even fit into the room

    Firefox unloads old tabs when restarting the browser, so most of those are more like temporary bookmarks.

    Don't think I've ever seen someone open 300 tabs in one session or on Chromium...

    Consider also getting Simple Tab Groups. You can basically instantly send a bunch of tabs to a "group", which is like bookmarks except they can also be opened/closed all at once in a new window. Very handy, you can open 50 tabs researching something, close them all, then instantly reopen them when coming back to the research.
