Qt Software

I wonder if you heard of this small program called QT. It runs in a lot of programs:

Welp, that’s a lot of programs. A lot are propietary but even open source projects. Like krita, virtual box, anything KDE, gnu plot even. Well what’s the problem with that you may ask? QT is dual liscense. The main liscense being propietary software. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Well there is complete reason to panik. A lot of your favorite software mostly graphical software is basicly propietary. QT helped devs create there software. It was once chad open source and is now propietary.

As a linux community we have to decide which programs can get replaced and not be advertised as much. If you care about open source you should try to replace these programs somehow. Programs need to go from:

QT >> GTK

But that is easier said then done :( So for now using alternatives when possible is the best thing to do. Spread the word!
