Browser Development • Re: Linux Pale Moon with Qt toolkit

Oh, wow. That's... less than I thought. I was thinking that it was a lot of trouble for something like 10-20% of the userbase... but it was really closer to 5%.

Granted, I do see a certain amount of value in being attractive to Linux users because they are hacker-types and often know their way around a compiler, which means they might be able to contribute code. But this definitely makes the situation seem absurd. 4% of the users require significantly more work on non-web related issues connected to platform code...

If that's the case, our position is significantly stronger on this issue than I thought. If a native Linux application doesn't support the latest toolkit, then they have a problem. But if a cross-platform application with 95% Windows and Mac users doesn't support Linux well, then Linux has a problem. I hate to put it that way, but now I understand why you weren't more worried about this issue...
