2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
5. ๐ฌ๐ง Language/ัะทัะบ/Sprache

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
- We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed. ย
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

GTK is not accessible anywhere other than Linux and is therefore not a serious option outside of Linux.
GTK is available for windows. https://www.gtk.org/docs/installations/windows
I said accessible not available. If you don't know what it means, accessibility means integrating with the OS screen readers and other similar tools so that everyone can use your app, not only people by people with good eyesight, and capable of using a mouse.
I mean... Windows could probably contribute to GTK if they wanted to expose their accessibility APIs. This would in theory be a good use of time.
Thanks for the lesson
It is. Itโs just not particularly good outside of a X11/Wayland environment.
I think this being worked on though.
@jollyrogue @XenGi it is not particularly good outside of Gnome environment
Gtk2 and Gtk3 is fine outside of gnome. Gtk4 especially with Libadwaita is heavily focused on Gnome.
