[–] data1701d@startrek.website 12 points 2 years ago (1 child) Let's just hope XFCE can finish the transition before then. If not, I am not looking forward to having to shop for a new DE. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] yozul@beehaw.org 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] data1701d@startrek.website 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Not necessarily - pavucontrol switched to GTK4, and there are a lot of other applications that I use that are on it as well. If XFCE stays on X11, I wouldn't be able to run any application that updates to GTK5 (except through some hack like running Weston nested in X, which I used to do when I used Waydroid). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] yozul@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 10 months ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
