Browser Development • Re: Linux Pale Moon with Qt toolkit

Though it's really hard to say which toolkit is better supported nowadays... KDE is supposedly becoming more popular, which could mean better long-term support for Qt versions in the future if more stuff is built on it. Linux is in an annoying state of flux right now... flux between GNOME and KDE, flux between X11 and Wayland, and it's hard to trust anything enough to commit to a direction.

I'm pretty sure most desktop GNU/Linux users use both GTK and QT packages already. It's pretty easy, just pull in a few dependency libraries, and you are up and running. So, focusing on one should not be seen as cutting out the other.

As far as your earlier concern about Xwayland disappearing, that's been discussed for many years but doesn't seem realistic. The world is full of odd bits of enterprise software that is never going to be ported to a new display protocol. As much as the Wayland developers would probably love to get rid of Xwayland, it just doesn't seem remotely possible in a time horizon less than multiple decades. I could be wrong, but I wouldn't make that my chief concern. If you wanted to port to Wayland, I would do it because of some advantage it would give you, not because of some threatened loss of Xwayland.

Just my 2 cents.
