Quoting: hardpenguin^this guy gets it

You don't though. Same as those who claim there is no need to switch to IPv6 for any ISP because "no one uses it".

@dmantione: We are talking about developers, not about end users. They drive this switch. And if they don't do it, end users can't do it even more so.

X11 is far from perfect.

Quoting: hardpenguinThis is nonsense. You will have to use XWayland for years to come. To run all the games that link X libraries directly (so, the vast majority of them), to begin with.

Not any more nonsense than saying that NAT is OK, and no one should be supporting IPv6 instead. Time to wake up and move forward.

Quoting: slaapliedjeQt saddens me because it reminds me of what could have been, namely a Nokia Linux phone with Qt and all of it's nice development tools. Instead we are stuck with shitty Android...

Sailfish supposedly still is going to be open sourced. But Jolla promised it so many times and never did it, so I'm somewhat skeptical. Then there is Plasma Mobile, but I didn't see any major updates there recently.

Quoting: Comandante oardoAccording to the info, the publisher of the Linux version is VP itself, so I don't think We (the owners of the windows version of this game on Steam and/or GOG) gonna have a free Linux version.

You mean they won't be paid if the game would be sold on GOG or Steam?

I can try contacting VP directly about it.

I agree on Qt bit. But I brought GTK because VP were already using it, as you can see in the screenshot.

Quoting: hardpenguin
Quoting: ShmerlAre they already using GTK3 for the launcher? They used GTK2 for TW2.
Can you tell me, please, does that matter in a slightest way?

Yes. GTK2 must go for good, if you want to switch to Wayland and avoid using XWayland in addition. So everything should be moving in that direction.

Hrm, why exactly do you need it even to run at anything higher than 100fps? It's way more than your eye can perceive already.
