Even Java is better than electron at this point
2 comments

Java is way better than Electron if you’re not on the bleeding edge. Surprisingly so.
Maybe but it’s the constant updates to Java which do my head in.
We are on Java 17, and since Java 9 that hasn't been a thing.

The way now is to use jlinker and create an application specific runtime.

You're supposed to bundle a slimmed-down Java runtime with your app these days, so end-users don't have to deal with updating a system-global "JRE" (which technically doesn't exist anymore, officially).
