It is over a week now since an update cleaned out gtk2 from my machine. Almost 25 years, rest in peace!

Just cause it has partial gtk2 internally embedded, iirc.

Great. Or maybe not.

Everyone, do we have a statistics over all lost (desktop) applications for Linux due to the demise of gtk1, gtk2, kde 1, kde 2, kde 3, kde 4, qt 1, qt 2, qt 3, qt 4, and gnome 1 to 48? How many applications will disappear due to the foreseeable demise of gtk 3, kde 5, qt 5, and most notably X11?

Take a look at Gtk4 Migration - Progress, in particular sections "Preparation in GTK 3.x" and "Changes that need to be done at the time of the switch". The last entry on that page reads "This issue has been marked as stale due to inactivity for the last 60 days. It will be automatically closed in 300 days if no update occurs. Please check if the master branch has fixed it and report again or close the issue."

Next year will be the year of Linux on the desktop. Wayland will be a blessing in disguise. I have got a bridge to sell you.

Don't care, heard it so many times, my ears have calluses.
Wayland will be a blessing in disguise.
Already is to those of us who have moved past the buggy whip days.

I have always advocated a wide diversity of desktop operating systems, and I will continue to do so. Linux is not the best tool for everyone.
I already use the new Genthree.

First time I heard that (next year will be linux desktop year) in 1998 when I got my first computer with Linux. And RedHat put out 5.2 in boxes in the stores. 2.0.34, then 2.0.36 kernels
