  "textContent": "> Probably there are going to be more issues with glib versions though as I already replaced MANY deprecated functions.\n\nYou're probably right.\n\n> I'll have to evaluate what's the oldest glib versions that I'm going to support.\n\nNot trying to persuade you or anything but I can say I know someone who builds and provides backports for systems starting with Ubuntu Xenial which is earlier than Bionic (which my Mint 19 is based on). He owns 5 or 6 of such machines. At first I was baffled but then I realized that just as myself clinging on this 16 year-old notebook with its \"obsolete\" OS there may be many others around the world that do the same for their very own reasons. It would've been great if Linux didn't push this urge to upgrade to the \"newest and shiniest\" whatever, and instead would've focused on backward compatibility; by now it could've raised dramatically its user share, in my humble opinion, just as M$ did by allowing very old applications to run on [almost?] all newer versions of Windows. But I guess it's still about the money, whether it's Linux or Windows or Mac.\n\n* * *",
