Other/future projects • Re: GTK2 revival

There are binaries available now too: https://git.devuan.org/SteveM/DTK_debs

Any changes we'll get binaries for Daedalus? I didn't/won't move to Excalibur due to usrMerge and... GIMP 3.

Also, I though it was a really wise move you did when rejected Wayland support.

And, @athenian200, relax, at this point, "deprecation" is just a buzzword made up by corporate big-shots and marketeers to fright people off stable paths they don't want them to follow, because being stable is bad for their business. The men that follow this trend are either unaware of better options (but being a hardcore smartphone user helps here, too) or neophiles/hipsters anyway (the devs, mostly). That's what "modern Linux" is for. But don't forget that, while we cheer for this most-welcomed non-deprecation of GTK2, a Qt6 port of UXP looks to be on its way too.

It really looks like two clashing views here: the "community", the hackers, the men, against the companies who need to make their money one way of another, and do it by, on one hand, pushing half-baked shit into everyone's face, and, on the other, deprecating what currently works just to be sure people won't stick to the "old and insecure". To me, UXP aligns itself better to the former.

Well, if it's...

on principle

, why it cannot be rational?

By the way, how do you think NPAPI figures in here, Flash Player being deprecated about the same time as GTK2?
