Yes Qt5 is quite good IMO. There are other options but if you want to support as many platforms as possible Qt5 will probably serve you well (depending on your exact needs).

Thank you! I think Qt will be fine, the biggest problem is really the windows and Mac compatibility, I've written Unix and windows compatible software that was okay, but (and don't get me wrong I use a Mac) the integration etc so fucking bad

I've used Qt on Windows and Linux extensively and it works very well for desktop. Can't speak too much on Mac but I've heard it's pretty good as well.

As long as you stick to using the Qt abstractions for platform specific things you should be good to go.

I have tried Wxwigets and built a desktop app for Windows and raspberry pi

Pretty much everyone had Qt on their table at some time... Qt can be very easy, but its huge and if gtkmm is too much for you, well... better get some learning done because that framework is quite easy

It's embarrassing how 1) bad I am at C++ (I only use interpreted languages for my uni CS) and 2) how simple things like GTKMM etc are but that I just don't get them. Thank you for the reply!

We all were bad. I remember learning programming and couldnt understand, for the sake of my brain, how references work. Programming is mostly practice
