RE: @mindhunter REVIEW: Endless OS 3.0.5 (A Linux GNOME 3.8 Operating System)
I always get excited when I see new projects built on gnome 3/GLib 2/Gtk+ 3. It is the prettiest and fastest because it is built mostly in C, because GLib takes care of the OOP and reflection. I like the sound of this gnome shell fork... Gtk+ 3 is the only truly fully scalable GUI out there, and can target from low res phone screens to HiDPI displays. I will check it out sometime, I am sure the shell can be built and run under Ubuntu.
Gtk+ 3 is the only truly fully scalable GUI out there; AGREED! To build GTK3.10 specific packages you'll need to use the current development version for Ubuntu 15.10. I tried but my desktop became unstable and I gave up!!!
(...ended up being a horror show, so I just jumped back to the lighter Lubuntu 15.10 for Steemit!)
nah. It only needs to be about 3.10 or so for the full set of new features. 14.04 has this I think, maybe 3.12. You also can use jhbuild to have the latest version in your profile and have your app use these instead of the system library. Gnome 3.16 or above isn't necessary.
C, C++ and Python are the best supported languages to work with Gtk+ 3, in terms of documentation.
I'll try 3.12 under 14.04 on another machine :) Thanks @l0k1 - cool avatar by the way - you look good man!
