> Does GTK give me KDE's window decorations when running on a KDE desktop or does it look "alien"? No. Just like Win32 or Cocoa doesn't draw foreign chrome, neither does Gtk. Apps are free to draw whatever they want, and many do, like Firefox, Chrome or MS Office. > Does every Linux desktop setup that runs Wayland have GTK libs installed? I have yet to see any relevant linux distribution, that comes with display server (not just wayland) and doesn't ship with Gtk. > Last I checked these were the main show stoppers when linking against a specific widget framework on Linux. These are not show stoppers; they are subjective preferences. They are also demanding something from Linux that they do not demand from other systems. > There's no least common system standard like on Windows or macOS (X11 was that standard, but oh well...) It is, you just chose to ignore it (going full circle; it is called Gtk). You are free to ignore it, but it comes with a price. Complaining about the price without putting in an effort to change it according to these subjective preferences won't get anybody too far.
