GTK+ VS podman-desktop-companion

Clone https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk

This is the GTK file chooser, not to be confused with the gnome file browser (nautilus). The repo is there. The issue for this particular bug is there. My merge request is there.

GTK and Gnome are almost 25 years old, and they're nowhere as messy as the Windows

I'm trying to port a small GTK3 project over to GTK4 and I'm stuck for a week or so at wrapping my head around menu bars. In GTK3 I used `GtkMenuBar` which is replaced by `GtkPopoverMenuBar` as far as I understand, but I don't understand how. All examples I've found for GMenuModel implemented that hamburger symbol which I don't like (example given).

git clone gtk repo, git checkout the gtk-3-24 branch.

GNOME does maintain GTK. It is the core of their development platform. Its code is even hosted on GNOME's Gitlab

in '~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css' file. Please note this may break some apps somehow. Also, this is not solution, it's only a workaround. It's better to communicate with GTK developers here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk

Yeah, that's the Gtk file dialog. Please file a bug report at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk.

I'm trying to make a text editor in gtk (yes I know there are already plenty of those, but it is a project to learn, not for actual use), and I got pretty far already I would think. I'm basically following the GTK docs for GTK4 and cross checking them with the examples from the GTK git. However I am stuck on something. The current most state of my program is broken, as I get this error when trying to start the program:

Btw #2: For a nice, cross-platform GUI app thing for Docker & Podman here's this one: Podman Desktop Companion.

Podman Desktop Companion (cross-platform, supports Docker too)

Docker in WSL2 too works but with Podman the environment setup may be a little more flexible depending on what you want to achieve on what distro etc. In any case you can use the cross-platform Podman Desktop Companion app to manage your containers via a GUI.

Both Distrobox and Podman can be installed without root access btw and, here's a neat little GUI for managing Podman & Docker containers: Podman Desktop Companion (cross-platform).

No, that's incorrect. Also, there's the unofficial Pods app, and the Podman Desktop Companion.

For a GUI to manage your Podman and/or Docker containers, install the Podman Desktop Companion app (yes, it supports both Podman and Docker). They say that the Windows version can be used to manage the containers running in WSL2 but a more sure way would be to pick the Linux app and to install it in the WSL2 distro your containers are installed & running in.

I'm skeptic how long this will last unless they bring out some cutting-edge innovations. I frankly used and loved Docker Desktop for a long time because it was the easiest way to get going and I believe even k8s is included now which is great for hobbyists and those who just want to get things done. But, I've been annoyed by the UX changes and the push to login to docker hub.

While in 2023, there are most certainly great alternatives that are relatively easy to install from the terminal and get going, I guess there's not yet a definitive replacement that comes with the GUI too. Best I can think of is Podman Desktop Companion[1] but not sure how well this works.

How does this compare to Podman Desktop Companion? They look very similar - nearly identical - yet clearly two different projects.
