"textContent": "> > I mean, I think it just comes down to the fact that any attempt to support modern mainstream Linux (especially 5 years from now) is going to involve some unhappy compromises no matter what we do. Modern Linux isn't the friendliest to our direction as a project, but I don't really want to ignore it completely and just build a wall around ourselves out of XLibre and GTK forks either... you know what I mean?\n>\n> Definitely agreed. That's why I did the EGL port and have looked into the feasibility of porting to QT6. I think we should start preparing for the future now so that we are prepared because eventually we are going to stop working with newer *nix because of all this stuff, especially newer Linux.\n\nAdding my 2 cents here.\n\nI think the EGL port benefits us, adding support for more modern GPUs, and if you are (for some reason) still on an old GPU, there's still the GLX fallback.\n\nEGL also benefits not just Linux, but other platforms which support X11 (aka all Unix-likes except for macOS), further enhancing our portability.\n\n* * *",
