I suspect that the reason for this is the fact that the 'wire-desktop' app isn't a native linux app but an Electron wrap-around of the web app. When idle it runs 4 different processes that reserve almost 500MB ram whilst actively using just under 300MB. ![]() So why 'seemingly'? My main gripe is it's use of resources on linux. Plus the 'ping' feature actually works as a (noisy) 'wake-on-lan'.

Wire, on the other hand, is a much cleaner and seemingly more polished app. Getting your granny to move over is not as easy. I found qtox very good but, since there are numbers of different clients with different features and also different issues, I feel it's more a choice for people who enjoy experimenting with tech-stuff. Coming from Skype, I tried to move to qtox but ended up with Wire.
