Phoronix: QNX 7 Can Be Fitted With A Qt5 Desktop

While QNX remains targeted as an operating system for mobile/embedded solutions, a BlackBerry developer in his spare time has fitted QNX 7 with a Qt5 desktop...

I think much of QNX is up to ford these days.
Ford use QNX for their Sync 3 and made a deal with blackberry late 2016 and the resent hiring of 400 developers in Canada with an majority from QNX/blackberry.

The car industry has used Qt for a long time even with Meego (some might remember that no one told the car industry about the discontinuing of Meego) so i don't see this as an big surprise even if it's done on spare time.

I approve the usage of Qt even if it is on some weird niche (proprietary?) OS.

How nice. QNX is back while Wayland Desktop never happened. Sad.

Don't worry, Wayland Desktop is close enough, thanks to GNOME and RedHat.

Porting Gtk+ to SDP 7 is left as an exercise to the reader

The smartphone currently in my pocket begs to differ.
