An Unreal Engine app that just renders a Chromium page as far as I understand. Essentially using their own version of Electron made using the guts of one of the most complex game engines. Truly an unholy abomination.

is that why it uses like a quarter of my processor to open the library/store

so a game to open others games

The meme is talking about when the game engine is used to nake things other than games

It’s about using Godot for deskop apps which is overkill but better than electron

It’s electron. Literally just a version of chrome to open one website (the app).

Electron is a software framework that essentially lets you build desktop applications using web stuff (i.e. HTML, Javascript). As such, each Electron app comes bundled with chromium, an embedded browser that is the basis of Google Chrome.

The problem is that, much like Chrome, Electron hogs a lot of RAM and other resources. And since each Electron app uses a separate instance of Chromium, the problem compounds (as opposed to having each app as a tab in your browser, where they can share resources from one single Chrome instance).

So the problem is, imagine having to run a separate instance of Chrome for each program you use. That’s why people don’t like Electron.

Godot is a game engine, but it’s also fairly capable for making desktop applications. This meme is comparing Godot, which bundles a complete game engine in each app, with Electron, which bundles a complete browser.
