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

      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.

          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.

      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
