If you have spare time, the GTK maintainers want people to work on the Vulkan renderer. Benjamin Otte and Georges Stavracas Neto have put in a bit of effort to make the Vulkan renderer better. GL is only deprecated on Mac from what I understand.

GL is being retired. I humbly don't think I am the right guy for that: I use raw x11, and will use raw wayland once the steam client is finally and actually wayland enabled, even though I may do the jump before... because "valve": their "pressure-vessel" is buggy, and I am helping fixing alsa support in SDL3, all that is starting... namely if I code something GFX related that would be more a wayland compositor on drm(dmabufs)/vulkan, probably based on valve one, either in plain and simple C (compiling with tcc, cproc/qbe, simple-cc/qbe), minimal to 0 dependencies without the latest ISO tantrums, or x86_64 assembly (before a port to riscv in the far future). But never say never.

  You shouldn't use raw X11 or raw Wayland unless you're writing a low-level toolkit. If you're working on games, SDL should handle all that stuff for you.

    Completely wrong: chatgpt again?

      No, really. Those APIs are too low level to be useful for normal applications. Nothing in them is useful for games at all. I don't know why you think it's appropriate to put in these insults either. Cut it out.

        This is so wrong, yep chatgpt.
