Agreed Qt is the play for desktop apps. I use it at work quite a bit, and if you’re careful enough you can just rely on upstream packaging for Linux. Windows isn’t horrible if you’re only relying on base/core and the platform plugins. It’s not tiny, but at least an order of magnitude smaller than an electron app. Mac I do not have any experience with so I can’t speak to that. It really is a fun framework to develop with and it’s signal/slot feature is a delight. I’ve recently developed a Wt web app and the learning curve was basically zero after having the Qt “expertise” I do, quoted because even after 10 years with it I’m always learning something new. The more I learn the less I know kind of thing.
