I've literally never had or heard of Slack crashing, across Windows, Ubuntu and macOS, regardless of memory available (8-32GB) and use. Do people really have Slack regularly crash on them or is that just something that gets attached to Electron (for some reason).
I get them occasionally.
An electron crash would kill the window. I get these sometimes too when I try to run natively in wayland, which I’m aware is unsupported so I’m not blaming anyone for that.
Grey screens. Unresponsive during video calls. Eats all of my memory at least once a day. The app is a mess.
But all that tells you is that it's crash-free on at least a small % of machines, so not a great way to analyze robustness. Maybe create an HN poll?
No offense, but you must have blinders on then. On a fresh install on a new machine it’ll do it in the first day.
> It's crash-free for me, running 24x7.
There was a person who legit got struck by lightning multiple times in their life and lived, so anything is possible. Your claim is comparatively improbable though, but still has the possibility of being true.
Accidentally toggled the “huddle” button a couple of times - it’ll crash so badly, I legitimately have to restart the computer to fix it.
