What's the equivalent of a win32 GUI on Linux?
gtk and qt
>>107743191lucid and motif>>107743282retard
>>107743191xcb>>107743289nigger
>>107743191gnome2
>>107743191There is not equivalentLinux has 100 different toolkits and all of them are either 1980's flatshit or 2010's flatshitJust use windows XP if you want a consistent UI
tk
ncurses
>>107743191There isn't one.Linux is not a stable OS.
>>107743657>>107743548>>107743282>>107743191https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Athena_Widgets>In a talk for USENIX, X pioneer Jim Gettys remarked that although Athena widgets were "ugly", they were often used in the period of X history that he describes as the "GUI wars", as a safe alternative to the competing Motif and Open Look toolkits.[2]
>>107743191all the stdlibs and sys/its retarded to have the entire bible's equivalent of includes in a single header file, split it up jeet
>>107743191wine and mingw https://man.archlinux.org/man/winegcc.1.en
>Windows going to shit>Linux still a mess without a consistent interfaceIt's over isn't it?
Linux just need a strong leader to impose standards
>>107743191Linux is an obsolete console OS, it has no GUI.
>>107743924>button radius is not the same, this is literally unlivable!
>>107743950>linux>standardslol, pick onewe will never have a new competitor OS because nobody cares enough anymorewindows will be like android and linux will forever keep rolling in it's gtk/qt feces
>>107743983white people look at your incoherent mishmash and think it's a cheap chinese bootleg of windows
>>107743289>>107743191it's motif. it even has the funny loop with switch statements. it's the same
>>107744015I'm sure that's true
>>107743191Nothing. Everything is sluggish and looks like ass.
>>107743191your mom
Everyone thinks they want linux, but then they try it and immediately want to turn it into windows/mac instead of just going the fuck back. Total Indian/immigrant behavior. That's how we end up with gay shit like wayland and everything rewritten in rust.
>>107744323Torvalds himself complains about the awful fragmentationIt's you who has to go back, retarded indian
>>107743191NoneThe only way to achieve that is centralization, something troonix users hate despite their primary way to install software being 100% centralized
This is why linux isnt more widespread.
>>107744339Torvalds handed the kernel over to a tranny. His opinion doesn't matter anymore.
linux is kernel, there is no default GUI toolkitncurses?
>>107743950We have Bassi.
linux will never, ever
>>107743950this man doesn't understand freedom>>107744369I can grab the source code on Github or elsewhere and compile it. Which I do many times. If you really want to critique centralization critique the people on Mastodon who act like they can have both privacy/freedom and a welfare state without any trade offs.
>>107743675motif ultimately won this , and was then superseded by gtk2 ect.
>>107744442You can have freedom on top of a less free foundation, that's how real life worksLinux is a wild west and a total mess because of thatIt's great that you can fiddle around with every part of your system, but because it's so easy to do on Linux, you end up with a desktop that looks cheap and inconsistentBut I know what your desktop looks like and you obviously don't care about consistency like 99% of other people do
>>107744442>freedomyour hardware is not free by any means whatsoever>inb4 it's as free as possibleif you wanted to be as free as possible you would make your own hardwareinstead you strike for a healthy balancewhy not have balance with a centralized and free OS?
>>107744015is the cheap chinese knockoff in the room with us right now sar?
>>107743657>windows>stable
>>107744675not my problem
>>107743191GTK was an attempt at that. Since it became a GNOME thing there isn't one currently.
>>107743191FOX toolkit.http://fox-toolkit.org/Take Xfe as an example of software that uses it, it just werks in doesn't rape your RAM.http://roland65.free.fr/xfe/
>>107744706Stable in the sense of unchanging ABI/API.Win32 was created a billion years ago and it still exists and programs compiled with it 20 years ago still run on modern windows with no issues.
>>107743191i have not head of anyone who writes postscript
>>107744841>20 years ago30 years ago in many cases.Many software made for Windows 95 still run fine in Windows 11 25H2.Meanwhile I had problems trying to make 8 year old software run on Linux>binaries don't work, too outdated>packages don't install, too outdated>try to build from source>fall into dependency hell>give up
>>107743191win32(wine)
>>107744706To be fair, that password was for network logon. It was not intended to keep the local machine secure.
>>107744706you could simply ctrl+alt+del, enter Administrator in the login prompt and a blank password and press enter on Windows XP.
