    No, I think it works without a network connection. But it’s an Electron a React Native app now, which means it’s a glorified webview displaying an HTML document pretending to be an app because apparently even Microsoft don’t give a shit about MAUI.

    Electron apps (and similar shit like React Native) are notorious for being slow and extremely resource-hungry. You know, exactly what you don’t want a care part of your OS to be.

      It’s worse that that. Only parts of the start menu are in react native (but it still needs to initialized every time you open it)
