Desktop Mate constantly draws 3D models, which places a considerable load on the GPU. For reference, on a laptop equipped with an Intel Core i7-1065G7, Desktop Mate's GPU usage was around 70%. It works well on PCs with a graphics card, but on PCs with only an iGPU, it may affect other tasks.



Desktop Mate also allows you to add a variety of other characters, including 'Work Cat,' 'Hakurei Reimu,' 'Yukkuri Reimu,' 'Kirisame Marisa,' 'Yukkuri Marisa,' 'Yuzuki Yukari,' and 'Tsubasa Akari.' Work Cat has a feature that 'every time you press Ctrl+S, it will point and say 'OK!' to confirm.'
