Remember when discord changed its android app to use react native?
They fixed most of it by now but god it was terrible back then
And it's a terrible app, at that. No organization, just either some random application links, or one giant list with no categories or organization past alphabetical.
Fuck JavaScript in all its forms.
Ok, in a browser is fine. But HARD pass on electron and all this bullshit
My pc "spikes" from 6% to 11% but was only noticeable when I raised the update speed to high
Is that the spiking, and are other people seeing more?
I have heard that Classic Shell is once again functional under Windows 11, but it was critically broken and thoroughly unusable for too long for me, and I have since moved on to StartIsBack, which can do almost everything I found essential with Classic Shell.
Recently something has changed and the start menu likes to search for apps in its browser (not my default app). I used to press windows key then type "snip" for the screenshot tool, now half of the time is does the wrong thing ...
Also here's a link to post talking about react in the start menu https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30384494
Yeah. It's quite obnoxious how bad they've made their OS and it's obvious they are FARMING searches on bing with these tactics lmao
AFAIK, React is a Single-Page Web Application that refreshes everytime something changes. It's benefits are fast load times and lower overhead because it ONLY updates things that are changed on re-render, but the downsides are that it relies on other libraries for things like multiple pages, etc.
So for it to be a Windows System application, yes that's fucking attrocious. Did you ever hear how angry people were about the Warcraft 3 update that added a bunch of webapp nonsense and bricked a lot of people's old copies? Well, that's basically what Windows 11 did.
Switched to Linux at the beginning of the year. Still have a lobotomized local windows 11 boot for gaming/VR still though. Can't wait for the day I can finally get rid of it totally.
We are living in Richard Stallmans worst nightmare rn
Oh man that explains so many pains in the ass at work
I can't reproduce the CPU spike, but Windows is overall slower. Strangely, the calendar on the taskbar takes a long time to load the first time that I open it.
I'm foreseeing a spike in people asking me for help installing Linux.
I'm no programmer nor coder or such, I call myself advanced user only.
If having part of an app (I refer app as OS here, and start menu as part of an OS) to spike CPU/memory usage, does that means that part is not being used without being called? and leaves resources fully free? Sure big spike happen when the sub-part is called, but without being called?
IF part of an app is not even loaded while not used, isn't that actually good? I mean, depends how often that app part is called and have to load from the void.
I imagine that could be better than having unused part loaded all the time, wasting the resources?
Also, I totally skip part of poorly coded compared to old smooth and optimized code.
Well, yes, in some cases, but the start menu is something you interact with very often. The average user (and I mean office worker in their 40s)doesn't even pin items to the taskbar. As such, the main way to open apps is through the start menu. Think about this way. In this situation on a laptop, you either save ram or battery. Constant cpu spikes aren't good for energy efficiency. This also means hogging your ssd, which might be an issue in specific situations. On the other side, keeping the start menu fully in ram could be perceived as a waste, it really depends on how often you use the start menu and how much you value energy efficiency.
The crux of the problem is that clicking Start should display a low-resolution background image and 29 low-resolution icons, with some text and links. Bringing it to life should load a couple hundred k of disk into RAM and be imperceptible to the naked eye on the task manager.
My 12th-gen, 14-core processor that boosts to 3.5GHz should be able to do all that many hundreds of times a second without any serious stress.
Yet, I can click the start icon repeatedly by hand and hold my computer in excess of 40%
It's not a direct issue, and any modern computer will have no problem handling the load, but it calls out Win11 for attention to detail problems.
In case of the start menu, the sensible thing would be to optimize it sufficiently so that it doesn't hurt being kept ready constantly.
it should take 0.01% of the cpu, instead it uses a lot more than that. any app, or piece of is, that uses much more than it should is wasteful.
wasting electricity, wasting resources that should be available to other software….
on top of that, react native is very insecure, so throwing wasteful, insecure bloat into one of the simplest parts of an operating system… and for no reason other than laziness….
and then they charge you money for it, and actively fight your ability to use other operating systems for critical things….
there is massive financial incentives for these companies to write shit code because it makes people have to get newer computers
