- chungy 5y agoJust take a look at the Windows desktop versus Linux desktop. The Windows desktop is far more fragmented and discongruous. With Linux, the main difference is whether your desktop is primarily Qt or GTK. Sometimes an app using the other toolkit will look kind of funny, but most of those differences are paved over by any competent distro (eg: Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu, OpenSUSE...).

Sounds like probably "never" for you. You seem hostile toward Linux, so you're probably better off sticking with whatever you use currently.
- gnubison 5y agoI don’t think calling GP “hostile to Linux” after they critiqued one part of the ecosystem is very fair. All systems have their flaws, and if judging part of a system negatively makes you hostile to that system, then I guess Linus Torvalds is hostile to Linux too.
- blooalien 5y agoI no longer care. None of it matters one little bit anyhow.
- motogpjimbo 5y agoThere are two windowing systems on Linux - the old one and the new one. GUI toolkits are irrelevant to games.
