Browser Development • Re: Linux Pale Moon with Qt toolkit

Off-topic:

EDIT: … Apparently he's done.

I’m going to keep working on it slowly, but Linux/*nix improvements are going to be bumped much lower in my priority list going forward if people are going to constantly complain along the way.

One thing I’ve come to appreciate after switching to MacOS on my laptop is that you only have one target. One toolkit. One OS configuration. Same with Windows. On Linux/BSD/etc you have a ton of toolkits, daemons, system libraries and integrations, etc that all do the same thing and you have to pick one which pisses off everyone who prefers one of the other options.

I have a general roadmap (it isn’t public but I can share it if someone is interested) that outlines, from my perspective, what needs to be done to modernize the *nix support. Parts of it are already done such as the dbus-glib dependency removal. Others are in progress such as EGL and QT6.

At this point I’d rather implement things that benefit everyone without me being questioned like improving CSS/JS support. Hopefully people won’t question “this website was broken. I fixed it” but at this point even that wouldn’t surprise me.

Apologies for my outburst and language earlier. I was speaking out of anger. Things like this are a massive reason as to why I decided to do that eUXP fork (I have no involvement with that project anymore for clarification).
