10 days agoYep, with the desktop versions of Signal, Matrix (Element) and Steam chat.
I’m yet to try out gamemode, which may help. But I typically close Signal and Element when I’m gaming, so it’s usually not an issue for me.
Edit: I’m on EndeavourOS, KDE, i7, 16GB, Nvidia 2060.
TIL that version appears to be on the AUR: MicroEMACS/PK 4.0.15 customized by Linus Torvalds.
Last updated in 2014, it probably has serious cobwebs now. Even the upstream hasn’t been touched in 6 years.
