I'm not talking problems with DE toolkit applications. I'm saying that without the additional incentive to round down the sharp edges in Gtk3 with a custom distro patch set to get their DE working right (they won't have to because it's not gtk) they probably won't maintain the aformentioned required distro patches to gtk to fix all the frozen in bugs/feature removals. And so running gtk applications (most linux GUI applications) on these distros is more likely to have these sharp edges.
- linmob 4y agoPop!_OS is still based on Ubuntu, so I doubt that they are going to ship unpatched upstream GTK, it's more likely going to be patched by Canonical.
- superkuh 4y agoUnfortunately Canonical does not fix gtk3 either. Ubuntu after 14.04 is broken and you cannot paste file paths into Gtk3 program's File-Open dialogs without an elaborate key sequence to bring up the pathbar first. But it is fixed in gtk4, which Gnome uses, so Canonical doesn't care.
