    Whoohoo! Great to see Vulkan really taking place as the norm. I hope this can help stream line development for some as it keeps happening.

    Huh but GPUs only support it since like 2016 or 2017. Older ones won’t be able to render GTK4?

        I hope at least distros will make the switching automated because without it a lot of users will have issues, especially since Ubuntu and Fedora use GNOME by default.

      There’s still OpenGL backends, a newer one that shares the same backend as the Vulkan renderer and the old OpenGL renderer.

      Truat me, you ro not want to experience CPU based rendering on high resolution displays

        QtWidgets uses software rendering. It’s completely fine on my 4K display except for a single application, KOrganizer, where it actually takes a while to redraw the UI. You can implement hardware rendering badly too (see QtQuick which is noticeably less responsive than QtWidgets)

      Need? No. But hardware acceleration makes things faster and more efficient.

        Sometimes. Most of the times. Not always.
