Mention GTK/QT applications #27

Open piegamesde opened 3 years ago

Most applications using either of these toolkits will have a similar quality of Wayland support. A thing to note here is that the quality might depend on the used compositor: QT applications don't have window decorations on Gnome Wayland for me. And it is fair to assume that there are similar issues in the other direction (someone with KDE please test and report).

This is a good point.

The first version of this website was made very quickly late on a Sunday. It was mostly meant to debunk some of the "x is missing in Wayland" that I see a lot on Internet. After sharing it on Reddit, it seems that the community took the website quite seriously and now I am thinking of turning it into a "proper" reference page for Wayland. The community (myself included) could benefit from a page explaining clearly what Wayland is capable of, what are the missing features (by design), what is the exact support, etc. In such reference, GTK and QT applications would obviously be mentioned.

I can not guarantee anything but I will try to work on that, a big overhaul of the existing website (potentially on a new domain?) with formal/exhaustive list that can be use by people as a reference point.

I will keep you updated.
