WhatsApp for Windows is a slow, RAM-hungry web wrapper. With Microsoft committed to WinUI, there's no excuse not to build a native app.

    Where you fucked up is installing and using WhatsApp to begin with. It’s been shit since meta bought it.

          Sadly, Linux currently just isn’t a one-to-one replacement for Windows, which is enough of a reason for most people to stay. (I say this as a Linux user myself)

      I can’t imagine using anything under Meta’s control for personal communication.
