Community feedback required: What Window Manager/Windowing Toolkits/Versions do you use?

[robertosfield]

Happy New Year folks :-)

Last month I made a request for feedback on OS, dev tools etc. but didn't ask about what Window Managers/Windowing Toolkits and versions they are using on different versions, so I'll ask here to get a insight for which combinations are we need to keep supporting, or add support for in the future.

Please don't see this as offer to free support all the combinations you would love to see supported, if there are combinations that less common it may well be down to you and your colleagues to pick up on the tasks development and support. For myself my focus will remain focused on Vulkan and the core scene graph so it'll mostly be the community that will be handling specific platform/windowing toolkit support.

So could you please let us know details like the following:

• Which Windowing Toolkits do you use and which versions?
• Do you have a plan to migrate between versions of these Windowing Toolkits? For instance migrating from Qt5 to Qt6.
• How long will you require support for older versions?

Thanks for your input,
Robert.

Hi,
Happy New Year!

Window Managers：GLFW 3.4.0
Windowing Toolkits：Docking Imgui 1.92.2 WIP

Follow the Docking Imgui version for autonomous upgrades; this is something that should be handled at the application layer.

Hi, happy new year to all!

Fyi, I always build Qt from source code on Ubuntu 24.04 and Debian 13 x86 and Ubuntu 18.04 on Jetson Nano. Occasionally on Debian 13 on rpi4. At the moment, that is Qt6.10.1.
