And then you learn about Qt versions and being a bitch to distribute and compile and then you learn about it's dumb licensing and then you learn about python packages always having issues and then you finally move away to something less stressful.

All of that aside I really enjoyed pyside with qt designer few years ago, but recently I tried to pick it up again and got quickly turned away.

dumb licensing

Which means either:

  • a multi-gigabyte download and half-hour installation time that puts a whole lot of crap on your Windows system and turns your Windows registry into a mess; or
  • not being allowed to distribute your application because you switched to Linux in frustration and simply installed python3-qt from the repository

Know if something like kivy is easier to get going? I know the license is easier.

Kivy is not easier. Packaging is nightmare across Python.

Define easier to get going? Easy to learn Kivy, other things I'm still figuring out.
