GTK4 Seeing Text Entry Improvements, Easier To Create Custom Entry Widgets

I've never claimed that the already existing package systems are perfect. But why inventing something that is even worse (flatpak) than what already exists ?

Sorry for the delay in my answer.

The fact is that my use case is different from your use case, which is different from my friends use case. The fact that I'm a developper with a good grasp on how the system works and how I can use it does not mean that all my friends are (and some aren't). This should not preclude them to use Linux. So if they have a way to install the software they want/need without being overwhelmed by our "command line is king" bias, that cannot be bad. Linux is for everyone - not just those who feel, for whatever strange reason, that they deserve it more than some others.

Nothing can be worse than the current centralized package cancer system since it's at the bottom of the barrel.

So... You cannot like Linux and consider that our packages systems are far from being perfect?

Free Software is something you can use on other architectures as well. No need to haras around Linux and its Unix philosophy.

How's your daily use of ed?

When you install Debian, you need to install wicd and alsamixerqui and remove networkmanager and pulseaudio. If you want to have a stable system.

OK, so when I read "alsamixerqui" I got surprised because I thought you meant there was a Qt GUI for an ALSA mixer... only to find out it was a typo and you actually meant "alsamixergui", which come on, it uses FLTK (which in 2019 is simply unacceptable!)................ or is there any good ALSA mixer Qt GUI available?

Zero attacks to your 4G router is a technical fact because the WAN IP changes. I feel so sorry for people who do not have unlimited 100 Mbit/s in/out 4G mobile connection for 17.90 euros/month. Malware can come via web cookies and I do use clamtk regularly. For all internet users, stop writing BS.

The actual reason is because you are under a carrier-grade NAT. The disadvantage is that you can't self-host stuff, but that doesn't matter to the majority.

Anything like this for Gtk2 -> Gtk3 ?

Not that I know of.

If your code is written in C, you can use autoport to port from GTK3 to 4: https://github.com/baedert/autoport

Well, are you sure you do understand what free software is about?

Then Linux is clearly the wrong choice for you. People leave Windows and macOS because there are things that they don't like. And yet there are people coming from these platforms and try to turn the thing that is different into yet another Windows and macOS. Sad!

You don't have to use rpm or deb, if you think that this isn't the right way to install desktop apps. Then feel free to leave. But take your stuff with you and stop bothering us.

Wot?

I... Well, are you sure you do understand what free software is about? Because a "if you don't like it, quit" is not really what one would except from free software practitioners. neither is "I'm teh tecnhical wizord! I can do that, you cannot, you lame!!!1!", BTW.
