Am I crazy to think Gtk4 is now a viable cross-platform alternative to Qt?
The Gtk devs have at least given the impression that they want to support other platforms (for example, this talk: youtube.com/watch?v=FB2Y2Wk6FKE or this post: https://discourse.gnome.org/t/is-gtk-4-cross-platform/6144/2 https://discourse.gnome.org/t/is-gtk-4-cross-platform/6144/2). And getting it up and running on Windows with MSYS was pretty easy. It also uses GPU-accelerated rendering if available.
- dantondwa 4y agoI've been thinking the same. Also, with libadwaita, it looks quite good by default, and the design is more or less the same as Windows 11 or macOS.
- zxspectrum1982 4y agoYes, you are crazy. Gtk+ has always been a joke compared to Qt, moreso Gtk4 vs Qt6.
- api 4y agoIs accessibility mature across platforms? If not, then nope. Accessibility is the hill virtually every FOSS UI cross-platform toolkit dies on.
- schaefer 4y agoSo you're not even going to do enough homework to see if you've got anything to be upset about here? You're just going to shout your requirements into the wind?
- mwcampbell 4y agoAs far as I can tell, GTK 4 is still only accessible on free Unixes, via AT-SPI. There doesn't seem to be any progress in making it accessible on Windows or Mac.
- ducktective 4y ago> Am I crazy to think Gtk4 is now a viable cross-platform alternative to Qt? Dream solution is having a nix flake setup with correct compiler selection and switches for Windows/Linux/Mac and Android.
- pjmlp 4y agoYes, Gtk is a joke in feature parity.
- sirwhinesalot 4y agoIt's getting worse, not better. They can't even get font rendering right.
