> $2 of RAM in exchange for security is a good deal.

1. I don’t know what RAM you’re buying, but mine costs way more than that. It’s especially bad if you’re using AMD.

2. How does using electron apps make me more secure than using native apps?

The electron app exists. The native app does not.

You think that ranting against electron is somehow making a native app appear, but the reality is that there are way more js/electron devs than there are qt/gtk/wpf devs, and the choice in most cases is either an electron app or no app.

DDR4 at 3200MHz, plenty to make Ryzen happy, is available at $4 per GB on Amazon. That gets you half a gig for $2. But that's not even our max budget. If we use oefrha's estimate of 300MB of RAM eaten by Electron, then we have a budget of $6.80 per GB. That gets you very nice RAM.
