It's all about the personal opinion and has no any sense in terms of stability and predictability. More or less, like some of your points. - X Window is unsecure and buggy Granted, as it's a few decades old and not fitting anymore. - Qt5 is extremelly slow and buggy Compared to what? - GTK is heavy and linux only It shares a lot with X regarding its old codebase. - nvidia graphic drivers are outdated and have regressions Are you referring to the binary blobs or the Open Source drivers? Nvidia is still very reluctant to open their specs. - ati graphic drivers are buggy Official ones? Open Source drivers? They are as buggy as on all the other major platforms. - wayland is the newbie with no hrdwr and sftwr support It's fancy and newbie as long as there is no alternative upcoming. there are no any toolkit to build a good GUI app for linux at this moment. That's not true. In fact, there are many toolkits to build a good GUI app for GNU/Linux. Each toolkit has its advantages and disadvantages but in the end, they are as good and as worse as their Windows/macOS counterparts. What are the alternative OSs? Haiku? Redox-OS? Some Amiga stuff? As SC is modularizing its software so the graphics component is becoming an independent module, what are the chances the community/an individual is able to develop its own graphics module? To me, it seems that SC is not using any OS dependent features besides the graphics module, so they could just provide the basic SC software and the graphics module will be linked as a dll like a strategy. SC will never be OpenSource (will it?), so we are dependent on their decision anyway. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2018-08-21 18:24:11
