#22MacOS, and Linux, and Windows? Let me guess: it's some web-electron-app-native-things, right? Yes it is. Not gonna replace (native) Alfred for me, no.
I was super sold, ready to install. But then realized that too. Electron apps drain my mac battery super fast. It's a pity.
That must be the fault of the app than the Electron framework itself.

#23Great, another electron app. This one takes almost 300mb of RAM, just sitting there, being idle and doing nothing: http://imgur.com/a/vITos

Seems more like it's Quicksilver built on a browser stack

The question is, is it fast? It annoys me if I hit the shortcut keys and the window takes a long time to pop up, I use Find and Run Robot(1) on Windows and it shows up instantly. It even has plugins, but you have to gasp write them in C/C++!

#26"Cerebro" in Spanish means "brain".
Also in Portuguese.
The author seems non-hispanic, it could be a reference to X-Men: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebro

After I saw the memory consumption, I honestly didn't played with it a lot. It seems fast, but not as fast as Alfred (I use macOS).

Not even close, it is the «brain» as invented by Pr Xavier in X-men.
Spanish must have stolen it in an alternate universe when the X-men went back in time fighting the spanish inquisition disguised as lumberjacks and it's ok.

#30I tend to use Gnome Do[1] as my launcher. I haven't observed any noticeable battery drain (on Arch) despite the fact that it runs in background.
There's a neat comparison of different launchers available on Wikipedia[2].

As someone mentioned previously the Alt + F2 (or F3) works well enough in XFCE most of time.
I'll give Cerebro a try...
