During the past year, the Solus distribution desktop created great expectations and it is not surprising because it was efficient and quite light. Ikery Doherty announced about the month of November that the next version Budgie Desktop 11 would be released during the month of December, but that has not taken place.
The GTK libraries along with the version of Gnome they used caused Budgie Desktop 11 not to come out according to the scheduled schedule. But the team has managed to fix it, albeit in a drastic way.
Since they could not solve the problems, Budgie Desktop 11 development team started using QT libraries that are helping to solve the conflicts that existed in development. These Qt libraries used in Plasma and KDE applications will replace some GTK libraries and Vala libraries.
Budgie Desktop 11 has started using QT libraries, but will they be final?
And despite the fact that last week the Gnome stack they used was updated and with this they could solve several problems, the truth is that Budgie Desktop 11 will continue with this idea.
And since they have fixed the problems that existed on the desktop, Doherty has communicated that during the next few days, users who want to can enjoy the first development version of Budgie Desktop 11, a version that many were already waiting to know the new features of this desktop.
Regrettably We do not know if Qt libraries have come to stay or are only temporary librariesIn any case, according to the words of the project leader, it seems that they have come to stay unless it is clear that the operation for users is bad.
The Solus desktop wants to get rid of Gnome and its libraries, something that seems logical to me, but I don't know if QT libraries are really a good option. Other environments, such as Enlightenment chose to create their own libraries, something that seems more sensible to me, but of course, not all projects have as many resources as creating their own libraries, don't you think?
Well, using QT seems like a great decision to me. If they can't use GTK, why are they going to reinvent the wheel again if there is QT? It does not seem at all sensible to me that each desktop uses its libraries designed by and for it, in the end it is a waste of effort that could be devoted to more useful things, such as improving the user experience or stabilizing the environment.
upon reading this «... I don't know if QT libraries are really a good option.» I am left wondering why do you mention that? Are you a GTK fan or QT hater? or is there a technical argument to support it, I think there are several applications that have gone to QT for technical reasons (their own), for aesthetics perhaps they "looked better" in gtk, but for color tastes.
