ok. guys? we are (at the extreme) talking about a texteditor here. there is no reason for source code tooling to utilize GPU and if you think otherwise, i have no reason to continue to talk to you :D good day

oh and one more thing:

i assure you, this computer is more than good enough for browsing websites and do whatever you would do as a regular user... idk how you came to the conclusion it was otherwise.

it's not even the case that vscode makes anything slow here, there is no ditch in performance, everything is smooth as butter, i simply report the GPU spiking up to 30% whenever i make vscode scroll text.

are you telling me this is acceptable when i can just as well use a mightier software tool that doesnt utilize the gpu at all?

on another note: how is it be acceptable to anybody to poop a browser into every other new app? element, discord, vscode, you name it, it has electron or whatever in it. i prefer versatile tools over simple ones just like the next person, but i know for a fact: we can have that without all the blingblong.

ok, NOW im done with this
