... which GTK is a part of, regardless of what desktop (what does that even mean?) you use. on a mid range off the shelf laptop, practically any GTK based program is unusable because it's too slow, even in a minimal tiling WM.
i guess gnome advocates would consider GTK as a high end application, but i digress.
- Nux 5y agoGTK3 is indeed slow. GTK2 is fast and Gnome2 was fast (MATE is fast).
- kitsunesoba 5y agoI’m not exactly a fan of GTK but this surprises me. I toy with Linux on an old circa-2008 QX9300/Quadro FX770M laptop from time to time and can’t recall GTK3 apps being particularly slow on it. GNOME itself is a bit sluggish but that’s no surprise.
