Is there a fix for Qt application theming on Ubuntu/Gnome + Wayland?
I've tried QGnomePlatform, which was a bit of a pain to compile on Ubuntu, and more importantly, didn't resolve the issue. It's also unfortunately no longer maintained, so even if it worked, it would be nothing more than a temporary fix.

LibAdwaita Styled window decorations for Qt based applications [QAdwaitaPlatform]
Pull request. It was "rejected" because the maintainer wants to use LibDecor in a far future (how in far we dont know). Since November 2022, I just used this branch on my PC in the hope of QGnomePlatform port to LibDecor, and I didn't publish this branch anywhere. But I'm tired of waiting and uploaded this to AUR. I know, rewriting whole decoration is better, but i dont want to do it.

PSA: You can fix Qt apps not using the dark icon theme under GNOME by installing qgnomeplatform >= 0.9.1
Check out qgnomeplatform issue #106 @GitHub for more information.

Scribus does not see my other ui themes (Qtile)
EndeavourOS has a Gnome based theme that is not compatible with Scribus, because it is build with Qt themes. Looks like there is a library that supports Gnome themes in Qt: https://github.com/FedoraQt/QGnomePlatform

How to fix broken darkmode QT theming in gnome w/ Adwaita iscons
This looks a lot like https://github.com/FedoraQt/QGnomePlatform/issues/106 which purports to be fixed.

What exactly is making Flatpak Qt apps look like this on GNOME? I have both KDE and GNOME installed and this looks fine on KDE with the breeze theme.
It looks like QGnomePlatform is used.

QT Apps have Strange UI
Are qgnomeplatform-{qt5,qt6} installed? If so, you could try removing them. It's possible that QGnomePlatform isn't properly handling one of Qt's numerous scaling options.

Some flatpak applications close when hovering over the window buttons. It only happens with qt applications
I can reproduce here on F37. It's probably a bug in QGnomePlatform. Removing the relevant version of org.kde.WaylandDecoration.QGnomePlatform-decoration fixes it, as does forcing the app to use X11.

Does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it? This only Happens on Wayland. This also happens with discord.
i think you need to install this https://github.com/FedoraQt/QGnomePlatform

Interesting project. Any link to NEXTSPACE?

GNUstep compatibility with macOS Catalina almost complete
I'd love to run GNUStep on my Linux machine simply because The NeXT heritage brings with it the only sane keyboard shortcut / keybinding system on the Linux desktop. Before I go on a tangent, let me link to NEXTSPACE [1] which is a CentOS based GNUStep OS. Sadly, since the author is from the Ukraine, all development has halted since last February :( I hope he is ok.
Now the keybinding tangent: If you're not rolling VIM keybindings in the whole desktop (which is tricky for non-modal interfaces and alienating a large amount of users), the next best ergonomic keybinding scheme is the Emacs / Gnu Readline system [2]. It allows moving the cursor without having to move hands around (e.g. going to the arrow keys, coming back to the alphabetical keys). It is one of the base tenets of unix systems. Every terminal supports it. Yet, the whole bunch of Linux Desktop systems completely ignored these keybindings and copypastaed the Windows concept instead, coming up with a weird chimera of readline in some places, and half-windows, half-self-invented in others.
Gnome used to have an Emacs compatibility mode that was somehow off by default and had to be enabled in a tweak. It was removed with GTK 4 however. If you want to do that in KDE, you have to run a weird python daemon, and half the apps constantly stop working because they key codes are being messed with.
MacOS on the other hand, supports these keybindings in every input dialog, it is a pleasure to use. Even more so, to have the same keybindings in every app and not having to learn new ones on a per-app basis.
Of course, running weird python key code daemons runs into the other problem that macOS & Gnustep solved in a much nicer way: By copying the shortcut system from Windows and patching it on top of Readline, many shortcuts have double entries. Printing is CTRL-P, but so is readline "Previous Line". macOS and Gnustep solve this by having a separate key for app actions: Command (or Hyper or Alt). So print is Command+P. Everywhere. Previous line is CTRL-P. This is always my go-to Linux joke where "Copy" is "CTRl-C" everywhere, except in the Terminal, where it's CTRL-SHIFT-C because yeah, CTRL-C has another meaning. Talk about a sane shortcut system if apps have to use different ones per shortcut because the amalgamation of Windows Shortcuts + Readline is a match made in hell.

Previous: A NeXT Computer Emulator
In case you want to have a NeXT-like experience on Linux, I’ve had good fun with NEXTSPACE:

Alas, the developer is Ukrainian, and hasn’t committed anything in a long while. But maybe someone could help out?

Pop _OS Cosmic Desktop to Make Use of Iced Rust Toolkit Rather Than GTK
I described some of my feelings on the matter fairly recently here:
https://www.theregister.com/2022/05/17/linux_desktop_feature...
My personal preference, and what I'm writing on right now, is Unity.
I am also very fond of the ROX Desktop.
What would I really like to see? Well, barring attempts to just rip up everything and start again for no good reason, I think there would be a lot of mileage in recreating some of the classic UIs of the past that many people have loved.
* Classic MacOS was a sublime UI, with a lot of subtle non-obvious features. In its way it was far more polished than Mac OS X, even now.
* OS/2 2.x's Workplace Shell was not one of my personal favourites, but it had some excellent design features, and was loved by many.
* I have an Amiga but I never was a big fan back in the day, but a good solid modern Amiga Workbench clone would have some mileage, and as I said in the article, there are already FOSS implementations, just not for xNix.
* GEM is FOSS now. Why not recreate DR's multitasking GEM/X on Linux, or any of the late-era multitasking GEM desktops from the Atari ST, such as Thing or TeraDesk?
One of my favourite UIs is undergoing a pretty good re-implementation effort, in the form of NeXTspace:
https://github.com/trunkmaster/nextspace
There are more than half a dozen non-Windows-like desktop metaphors. Is that enough for you or shall I find some more? :-)

Tell HN: Nextspace (NeXTSTEP-like DE) stopped development as author in Ukraine
AFAIK, NEXTSPACE is the only NeXTSTEP-like desktop environment that is (was) actively being developed (https://github.com/trunkmaster/nextspace). The author had been working on this project for more than 5 years and he had been pushing code almost every single day.
Unfortunately, he had to stop development since Russia invasion of Ukraine, as he lives in Kyiv, Ukraine. He said he was OK and would like to continue development "after Ukraine’s victory" (https://github.com/trunkmaster/nextspace/discussions/412). But that was about 4 months ago.
As someone who really likes NeXTSTEP and hopes NEXTSPACE to succeed, the current situation is sad.
Just wanted to inform the crowds at HN about this.

Sick of Windows but can't afford a Mac? The cynic's guide to desktop Linux
[Article author here]
> I think my ideal Linux OS is probably Ubuntu/CentOS + something like macOS’s .app bundle file format for distributing end-user applications.
Then I suggest looking at NeXTspace:
https://github.com/trunkmaster/nextspace
It does exactly that. CentOS, plus .app bundles, all integrated into a single bundle.
But the .app bundles come from GNUstep, so you can't pick your own desktop.
- I see great gains for minimalist Linux users in this desktop environment, please support this project
- Nextspace, a desktop environment that brings a NeXTSTEP look and feel to Linux
- SerenityOS demo at Handmade Seattle 2021
