"textContent": "> This is an invalid point. Slackware and Devuan are perfectly capable of running GTK3, GTK4, and even Wayland if a user desires it, as well as modern GNOME and KDE. Do you think those distros are just for people who like old software or something?\n\nWell, my point was that if we never target anything newer, eventually those type of distros will be the only ones that can run our software. I think that point remains valid.\n\nBut yes, in all honesty, I think those type of distros are a bit more \"stuck in the past\" subjectively speaking than other distros, because it seems like people are more likely to use them to run older stuff than newer stuff even if running the newer stuff is also possible. But yeah, maybe it was a bit rude to put it that way since it sounds like I'm attacking those specific distros rather than Luddite attitudes that users around here have that might draw them to such distros. It's not really fair to people who might well run those distros but use more modern stuff. If that's the point you're making, I'll concede it, but I won't apologize for the rest.\n\nThe subtext for everything I'm saying is just that I'm fed up with having a userbase that wants to live in 2006-2012 forever, and will find every excuse in the book to keep us grounded in that era, whether it be forks of forks, obscure Linux distros, anything. I don't see why I should have to apologize for how I see things...\n\n* * *",
