Phoronix: GTK 4.15 Released With Vulkan Renderer By Default

GTK 4.15.0 is now available as part of the new unstable series for this widely used open-source toolkit. Most notable with GTK 4.15.0 is the Vulkan renderer being used by default on supported systems...

Great! Now if only GTK4 wasn’t useless for anything more complex than a mobile app…

If only people who don’t like GTK would stop claiming nonsense like „GTK is only for mobile apps”…

Yeah, „mobile toolkit” without support for mobile platforms and touch friendly widgets. Qt is better mobile toolkit than GTK.

Spoken like a true clueless troll.

and it's doubly a shame because GTK4 afaik can't easily be compiled for android.

Not true.
I've used both GTK 3 and GTK 4, and I've used GTK both with Rust and Python. GTK is not useless for anything more complex than a mobile app. Also don't underestimate the complexity of a mobile app.

The API of GTK 4 is mostly the same as GTK 3 but with some refinements and improvements.

Overall I find GTK to be good even though there are some issues.

• PyGObject does not generate type hints. (issue 159)
• GLib does not integrate with Python's asyncio event loop. (issue 189)
• Some things in Rust required a bit boilerplate code but it has been improved and keeps getting more ergonomical.
• In complex applications it can get a bit tricky to manage state as there is no global state context. You can bind widgets to properties though.

Trolls like you care enough to leave a comment under every related topic.

Good morning little troll. I see you’re out early displaying your ignorance. Also the fact that you don’t really develop with GTK4. But hey, keep on spouting off. It’s amusing….LOL!

See my reply above for a refresher. By the way, please do inform us of any and all work you have accomplished with Qt. We would love to review your source code. And….to see if it’s more complex than a mobile app.
