I do wonder how much of his experience might be slack + gnome or KDE, some desktop apps are just horribly bloated because they can get away with it. Also modern DEs are just massive, most people don't realise how much resources they take up because compared to 25 years ago we all have x86 super computers.
I find slack to be absurdly slow for what is fundamentally just a text based web app and yet I'm using a 1yr old XPS with an 8th gen intel CPU... i run i3wm and keep things very minimal, yet I still find myself waiting seconds for slack to do stuff.
