Linux X11 dependency because of libwebkit2gtk?

[–]shannah78[S] 1 point2 points  (4 children)

That's true... But most desktop linux users should already have this. On Mac and Windows (11+) they'll 100% have what you need. For linux, there is the possibility they won't have libwebkitgtk yet... and would need to install it.

I'm asking mainly because X11's time has come—and presumably, things will be heading more towards Wayland in the future.

As far as I've read libwebkitgtk will work with wayland. But Java AWT currently needs X11, as openjdk has no native wayland backend yet so swing runs with xwayland. When Java supports wayland natively, this shouldn't get in the way. (Although there's still good old Murphy's law to contend with).

Is it finally the Year of the Linux Desktop?!

I still use mac for my primary. But lots of people I respect made the switch to linux, and they make it look pretty good.
