I'm using gnome-breeze for GTK based applications in KDE Plasma 5. Works well and looks close to native KDE.

It wasn't wrong way back in the past. Today it's wrong, because developers are aware that switch to Wayland is in progress and they shouldn't stand in the way of it on purpose. So, absolutely not goes to "games should depend on X".

GUI for launchers can be made without dependency on X either. There are toolkits for that. That's exactly what this conversation started from if you didn't follow. GTK2 doesn't allow it, but GTK3 does. So does Qt 5.

Quoting: mr-eggFor the foreseeable next few years upto 4000 Linux games will always require X

No game should require X. Games should talk to OpenGL / EGL, Vulkan / WSI, and stuff like libinput and such (or use SDL and etc.). X does not need to be a dependency for games. If it is, developers are doing something wrong.

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.
