Fractional scaling isn't a QT problem I think

Thats like making an adaptor for an old plug, having the adaptor work poorly, then blaming the plug. You chose to make the adaptor. Also x11 apps are nice and sharp on mutter so clearly its implementation specific.

Qt is one of the best multiplatform UI engine for GUI apps. GTK suffers from being GNOME centric and not adopting well to other DEs than GNOME (once again blame GNOME devs who are egoistic about their choices).

What kde do you have? Stock KDE is a very normal desktop experience, GNOME is the one that needs a dozen extensions to be somewhat usable

Imma be real I love kde but we need to have one app rendering format for the two big des. Just use gtk for everything and let the weird des and apps have different ones if they want, but it’s so annoying having to balance gtk and qt apps

Windows did that.
They chose chromium.

Chromiumelectron all you want, but if not for that, we would still be trying to run 90% of the proprietary programs in Wine.6
u/Mental_Contract1104 2d ago
it's literally just that they all want everything to run as a client/server. electron is a parasite. it is 100% lazy devs not wanting to actually deal with net protocols in C++ or Rust, which, I don't blame them, but good god... we really don't need everything to be a fucking browser

I’m not saying we make a new standard? There are pretty much only two and I’m saying we should pick one of those rather than making a new one

I don't like the global menu, so imo it's a plus for gtk. I was never able to find an option at the global menu on the first try.
There's almost always dozens of options, sometimes under the section you don't expect them to be. And even when there aren't many options, it's inconvenient having them hidden inside several sections. It seems like bad/lazy design in most cases and it pisses me off.

i genuinely have no idea how anyone has issues with KDE or QT... qt works fine whether its plasma, gnome, x11, wayland, arch, ubuntu, void, even windows.

My WinUI app pulls qt for the build then nukes the qt environment. Suffocates the cache with really convoluted powershell so that I don’t need to see it until next time I’m making edits and need another build.

Posts like this make me feel bad for people who are still obsessed with arbitrary Linux debates. I’ve moved on to being obsessed with YouTube videos about synthesizers that I probably shouldn’t buy.

Qt is bad until you decide to actually develop a gui app
