Trying to get started (noob)
What's going on? I googled some more and found out from here that I have to use G_APPLICATION_FLAGS_NONE because ubuntu uses an older version of Glib-2.0 and im getting even more confused, if im trying to learn gtk how do i know in advance what i should even learn and what isn't going to work on my machine?
- Is it worth to develop GNOME applications to learn/improve programming skills?

Gtk4: How to implement an "Edit" menu with cut/copy/paste functions?
The problem is, how do you setup a top-level window "edit" menu that contextually supports these actions for whatever widget is focused. I honestly can't find any example. See this for example: https://github.com/ToshioCP/Gtk4-tutorial/blob/20b4a16175ae3f510151702c8a377b63547b13d8/src/menu3/menu3.c

Not-gtk GUI Libs/frameworks for plain C
have you tried this? https://github.com/ToshioCP/Gtk4-tutorial also https://github.com/frang75/nappgui is very interesting and promising.

Embedding themes into application
I've been getting into GTK using ToshioCP's gtk4 tutorial but one thing that bothers me is the different looks on Windows. I've found some themes that could fix it, but I haven't figured out how I could embed my own theme + icons (.css file & subfolders with .SVG icons) into the application.

Do you know any good recourses for learning GTK (and glib, gobject, gio)?
But after trying to follow along with the official documentation for glib I realized it's all a bit to complicated for me, and I'm really struggling to follow along with it (f*ck you ADHD). I then found a different tutorial that seems to be a bit more handholding and easier to follow along with, but my issue with that is that it doesn't cover glib and gobject, instead it just requires me to copy the code without understanding whenever any gobject related topics appear. I then found a book that fits my needs perfectly, but that is incomplete and as the book itself states it is far from finished, and from what I understand the creator gave up on it in 2019.

So you want to write a GUI framework (2021)
For a recent project I chose Yue (https://libyue.com/), a cross-platform native widget GUI toolkit with C++, JavaScript/Node.js, and Lua. I've only used the Lua interface and macOS backend, but it has worked quite well, despite the very steep learning curve. This was also my first desktop GUI app, so I had to learn many implicit concepts that weren't obvious from the otherwise extensive documentation.
Yue was also the only option that 1) supported macOS, 2) supported Lua, 3) was sufficiently comprehensive to build a non-toy GUI app, 4) and that I could integrate into my (static) build. I couldn't even get the wxWidgets Lua interfaces to compile, and Qt and Fltk had similar stories, whereas reverse-engineering the baroque Yue build (based on Google's internal build systems) was relatively simple. Yue had some sharp edges, but I was able to work around them whilst patiently waiting for patches and fixes upstream.
Immediate mode interfaces were a non-starter for me. For a non-trivial set of otherwise typical controls and window management you have to implement too much yourself, plus being non-native they not only felt wrong (which admittedly is somewhat subjective; the younger crowd seems to think non-native, immediate mode interfaces look more state-of-the-art), but lacked other interfaces for proper desktop integration, like theme change signaling (i.e. notification that a user switch between light and dark modes in the macOS system settings panel).
All-in-all I would highly recommend Yue.

Gtk4 Tutorial
I settled for Yue: https://github.com/yue/yue It's been around for several years. The deciding factor for me was that is has well maintained Lua bindings as part of the core project alongside JavaScript (Node.js) and C++.
I didn't have much luck with libui (crashes, missing features, etc), and various immediate mode alternatives just require too many dependencies and other work that made integration too painful. Plus, Lua bindings for all these were always stale. In fact, Lua binding quality is pretty poor all around including for GTK, Qt, WxWidgets, and FLTK.

Portal Windows for Electron
There are many more JavaScript developers than C++ developers.
Personally I like Yue, a cross-platform native toolkit library: https://github.com/yue/yue But much of project was already using Lua, so Node.js and Electron were never viable solutions.

What is your “I don't care if this succeeds” project?
A native GUI library https://github.com/yue/yue.
It was a disaster when I announced it on Hacker News, and I got numerous harassments from strangers.
But anyway 2 years since then and I'm still working on it.
