GTK4 on mobile GNU/Linux devices
#1
As you probably know GTK4 was released but it's currently hard to find much information on it specially when it comes to mobile support. Originally I planned to only make a post on fosstodon about this but after thinking for a while I came to the conclusion that it probably deserves a own thread in here. To make it short in this thread I would like to ask for some help gathering information on the current state of GTK4 on the Pinephone and other GNU/Linux devices. I would love some responses from people who are a bit deeper into the topic then me :D

When I asked the main guy behind GTK4, he said if GPU rendering is in good shape then the Pinephone should see improvement in a number of areas!
This won't happen automatically though, as developers need to migrate their apps from v3 to v4, which is already happening, mainly the GNOME guys for their GNOME 40 release, which after it happens I believe it'll automatically start trickling into other echo systems which use GNOME components/apps for e.g. System Settings, Calc, File Manager .. etc

Ohh and the good news is GNOME 40 is around the corner, March if I remember correctly Smile
