    Cool touch applications like Krita Gemini and Calligra Gemini died because “fuck that touch trend, fuck QtQuick, GTK forever”. Now we’re stuck with applications that need a touchpad or mouse…

    Wut… GTK is one of the very few touch friendly toolkits on *nixen. And neither of those apps were ever GTK.

      GTK is one of the very few touch friendly toolkits on *nixen. And neither of those apps were ever GTK.

      Of course they were never on GTK because at that time GTK was absolutely useless for anything touch and it didn’t really change until libhandy became libadwaita and kinda-sorta became aligned with GTK but is also not part of GTK proper. Gimp is not touch-friendly. Modern Krita somewhat is, Krita Gemini totally was.
