This.

I encountered hell the other day. I saw a corporate Citrix deployment that had 45 users running three electron apps on an underprovisioned server with the CPU, disk and memory rammed at 100% lagging out. That’s 135 separate browser stacks basically.

Microsoft are moving office to this stack as well. Ugh.

Of course I was there trying to work out why our simple old fashioned web app was running slowly in a chrome tab…

Our hospital system uses Citrix and the application patients have to sign in with runs on some web framework instead of being a native Windows app. Such a frustrating experience using the on-screen keyboard to enter your name to sign in.
