Hi,

I'm just wondering whether someone has looked at/considered using Qt5
with Trinity. There was an article recently from the LXQt people which
was quite positive about its memory usage: https://blog.lxde.org/?p=1364

I'm aware that there have been concerns that Qt4 (so maybe Qt5 too?) has
significant dependencies on having a fast GPU to get performance while
Qt3/TQt will work much better when a GPU is not available.

Best regards,
Julius


Extremely unlikely unless an army of volunteering developers suddenly decided to join TDE :-)
It would probably take ages with the current developer workforce we have available, which is why the original plan to
move to qt4 was put aside some time ago.

I remember it was mainly about performance. I actually have a repo on GitHub which has a version of Kicker that runs on Qt4/KDE4. I also remember Tim had Trinity mostly working against Qt4 but he saw a lot of performance issues.

Having a Trinity-like DE on Qt5 could probably mostly be achieved by porting just Kicker and KDesktop to Qt5/KDE5 and having a session with those instead of Plasma. That wouldn't make sense if performance would suffer significantly though.

There was also the recent announcement about Qt Lite. It's supposed to run on systems with as little as 16 MB of memory and doesn't require OpenGL: http://blog.qt.io/blog/2016/08/18/introducing-the-qt-lite-project-qt-for-any-platform-any-thing-any-size/

Maybe these developments are out of scope for the Trinity project already, but it would be interesting to hear if anybody had compared them with Qt3/TQt.

Best regards,
Julius
