@gnome @GTK Are there anywhere the slides / video of Matthias Clasen's talk about "The state of GTK" at #GUADEC2025 ?

Начиная с #Kubuntu 25.10 будет оставлен только сеанс на базе #Wayland (это вариант с #KDE).
И в осеннем #Ubuntu 25.10 не будет сеанса #GNOME на базе #X11 (на экране входа в систему будет только сеанса на базе #Wayland).
Для обеих сред возможность запуска #X11-приложений при помощи XWayland остаётся без изменений (это когда Wayland сервер выдаёт себя за #Xorg для работы приложений умеющих лишь в X11).

В библиотеке #GTK бэкенду для протокола X11 присвоен статус устаревшего, в феврале 2025. А в более новой версии #GTK5 планируется оставить только поддержку Wayland.

(Meanwhile on Wayland, many video chat services don't support screen sharing, video recording is still problematic (at least on Debian), but no problem, just drop X11 and ignore the mentioned use cases...)

@GTK Is the fractional scaling described here [1] for GTK4.14 already the actual true fractional scaling that was described here [2]? This would be amazing. I was afraid that the have to wait until #gtk5
