npub1hk8m2y83w7yhh53cd5wfppntqeg5tnm4cva2z2mtzsndwzlv7qkswnwu4u (npub1hk8…wu4u) It is not about being slow in general, it is about the latency, the startup time, the freeze after clicking a button for the first time and so on. This is because of the just-in-time compiler (JIT). Python is interpreted. This means that it is slow, but its latency is rather low for desktop apps.

Still, I wouldn't use a Python desktop app if I find an alternative. Look at ProtonUp. It works, but it looks awful and freezes often…

Better use a compiled language for desktop apps.
