Qt 6 has been out for more than three years now.

Gconf was text though (well XML actually but not binary).
Variable names shouldn’t need comments, period. You don’t want to look it up every time this variable is used in code, just to understand what it holds. Of course there are always exceptions, but generally names should be descriptive enough to not need additional explanation.
And context can also come from names of other things, e.g. name of a class / namespace that holds this variable. For example AccessibilitySettings.HighContrast
, where AccessibilitySettings holds all options related to accessibility.
It is scalable but the icons are still drawn against the virtual pixel grid. If an icon is designed to be perfectly pixel-aligned when rasterized at a certain size, then rasterizing it at 1.25 of that size will cause small distortions if it contains small elements (such as 1 px width lines).
Please, someone tell comrade Stalin Xi that this is all just a terrible mistake!
I fear that at these resolutions we will discover that UI frameworks are not really scalable in terms of performance
Even “real” fractional scaling in Plasma with Qt 6 is not much better. Text will look slightly sharper, but icons are still blurry. There is no way for them to look sharp with 1.25 scaling since they are drawn with a pixel grid in mind. Unless you invent some way to stretch svgs so that their individual elements and spaces between them retain their integer-ness while the scale of the whole image is fractional.
The only other solution is monitors with 300+ PPI where blurriness is simply not noticeable (that’s the way Apple went).
Some distros (Fedora at least) have debuginfod integration,meaning that gdb will automatically download debuginfo files. The downside is that it will take a while for download to finish (for the first time at least) since it gets symbols for all linked and loaded libraries recursively, and it will take a few gigabytes in ~/.cache.
several posts per day here are a clear troll posts and bids for drama
Isn’t this the point of this subreddit community? Like, what else do you imagine would people post on a forum called “unpopular opinion”? It will have the same fate as its Reddit counterpart.
It’s arch so it will probably require some manual interaction. Or maybe not. You should always check the arch website before running pacman -Syu

I tried cosmic in VM and they have a long way to go. Whatever they release in 2024 will be just barely usable, nothing more. Think of stability of KDE 4.0 with 1% of its features. I’m not saying that they are doing a bad job, quite the opposite. But what they have right now is only nearing the bare minimum, and the road ahead is long.
Wayland is not a drop-in replacement tho. It’s like if glibc developers declared it obsolete and presented a “replacement” that has a completely different API and has 1/100 of glibc functionality and a plugin interface. And then all the dozens of Linux distros have to write all the plugins from scratch to add back missing functionality and do it together in perfect cooperation so that they remain compatible with each other.
It didn’t land upside down, it rolled over after touch down due to high lateral velocity after one of its engines malfunctioned (and the whole reason it managed to land softly at all is because onboard software was programmed to handle such cases and find a way to land it anyway).
This makes using “swipe to previous app” gesture harder in case app has a list with swipeable elements (such as Gmail) One of the purposes of the gesture bar is to prevent such conflicts.
Utility is for poors. People who don’t count money want something shiny or whatever their peers have. They can easily replace it if it breaks.
