[pinguinpc]

In m case works ok with minor issues related to some fonts in gtk3 apps

but in other things fix osdlyrics because in xfce dont work (segmentation fault)

This seems to be the future of Linux desktop..
Low memory usage, optimized for space, nice!

[Snaipersky]

Yep, but look here...

It takes 8 times longer to compile a test program using CopperSpice, and the resulting binary is more than 100 times larger!
Also CopperSpice takes 3 times longer to load itself.

Interesting numbers, but it's 6 years old now. Copperspice has covered most of qt5 for a while, and offers things like native vulkan. Not strictly related, but a retest would be in order.

As a replacement for QT as it ages, with numerous features that QT lacks innately. They're willing to track modern distros, so perhaps in time they will find it to their benefit.

I really hope not, because that's slow...

I wonder if they're currently or ever going to use copperspice?

Based on (a fork of) Qt3 (now TQt)?

I applaud the tenacity on display, but isn't maintaining both a Desktop Environment AND a full toolkit in C++ a rather ... large endeavour?

Maintaining is fairly easy. It is already written, just don't break things .

Sure, Wayland will probably be unable to support it but there are *loads* of things Wayland will never be able to achieve.

Likewise C++ is fairly decent and doesn't tend to drag in the usual mess of dependencies unlike Python so this won't be so bad either. Possibly the most fiddly part will be MOC which in my opinion was a bad idea then and is still a bad idea.

[RoyBellingan]

Well I do not argue about how people have fun but...
Allowing C++11 in the codebase...

On a mostly stock opensuse certain margin are even narrower
Space usage is also in general better.

It MIGHT be that the screenshot has been upscaled ?
