swiftshader VS relm

Is it really true that those bugs aren't getting fixed? There's a commit from July 18th to SwiftShader that seems to be addressing exactly the bug described in the blog post:

https://github.com/google/swiftshader/commit/4e401427f8dd799...

If your GPU does not support Vulkan you can still do some experimenting with a CPU renderer. I've used swiftshader a lot, it's a bit of a pain to compile, but once you manage to do so you can compile and run Vulkan code almost the same as if you had a compatible GPU. The performance of course is not great, but it's better than nothing.

swiftshader by Google (link):

You also don't get extensive support for various hardware for free – good luck running a Vulkan GUI on a pre-GCN AMD card or a sufficiently old NVIDIA one without a compatibility layer of sorts, which would require bothering with Vulkan Portability (i.e. missing certain Vulkan features due to it being implemented via an older API). The only alternative to that is SwiftShader (which would throw your extremely fast GUI aspirations right outta the window).

That's like saying no one needs a GPU anymore because Swiftshader exists.

Btw, if anyone's interested, here's the link to that branch: https://github.com/google/swiftshader/tree/legacy-d3d9

Yeah, there's still a fallback option through the use of Swiftshader if GPU accelerated vulkan isn't an option. If you use Vulkan for GUI, then it'll be fine to use Swiftshader, but if you're trying to play a game on Swiftshader, it'll likely struggle and probably fail.

The fix is https://github.com/flutter/engine/pull/25205 to use soft renderer SwiftShader instead of DXD9 on low-end PCs

Google’s version is SwiftShader

There is Iced which is used by system76 in Pop!_OS, Druid [DISCONTINUED], GTK-rs, Relm, Azul and Tauri. Personally I would use Tauri for its speed using the OS's native web render, documentation of use with things such as Sveltekit and the ability to make UI's using JS, CSS and HTML. Tauri similarly to Electron whilst being far faster. But its up to personal preference really. There aren't any solid "go to" options at the moment.

Currently, I have narrowed potential libraries to: 1. Flutter 2. FLTK 3. Relm (GTK) 4. iced 5. Slint 6. Imgui, Imgui-rs 7. and gtk-rs

Relm (GTK)

Relm, Slint (formerly SixtyFPS), Druid and Iced are all very promising idiomatic GUI toolkits with a great deal of community activity around them, and all of those perform substantially better in the accessibility department than ImGui and egui, to my knowledge. areweguiyet.com can give you some more pointers as well.

To use relm, you need to add the gtk and relm libraries to your project's dependencies in your Cargo.toml file. You’ll also need to have the gtk library installed.

No , not really a lot of the time people are trying to tackle problems that have taken years to solve in other languages which isn’t easy and is why you see stuff abandoned. This project is also pretty similar to [relm](https://github.com/antoyo/relm) which is an active project.

The [older gtk3 version of relm](https://github.com/antoyo/relm) has 2.1k stars. Relm4 is uses gtk4 which is newer.

Relm (supposedly more idiomatic)
