I know. I just don't see a point in making it more difficult than it has to be. Nevertheless, the documentation of gtkmm assumes at least version 4.10. And this isn't available on Debian stable. It was annoying to forego the examples needing this version because there aren't so many examples to learn from in the first place. Beside that it doesn't seem sensible to me to start with learning deprecated procedures first (if it is even necessary at all in the long run).there is no point at all that urges one to have Gnome running and to have extra tools like gtkmm in order to write GTK programms in C, C++ or any other language.
Well, I figure it does actually make a difference how many different programs you need to run at the same time. If my desktop isn't using GTK4 and I do still need to run it in order to do my work/learning, then I need to run it in addition to what the desktop needs. In my view it is similar to flatpacks. Sure, it is convenient to have everything pulled together into a self-contained piece of software that doesn't depend on anything else. But this comes with the downside that when you use it and run other programs needing similar components at the same time you end up running several instances of more or less the same code. Why shouldn't this impact performance if resources are limited?getting all the [XXX] overhead on your computer by installing such programs will in no way affect the performance of your computer. It is just a matter of available disk space.
I already did an intense course on programming with C and C++. In addition I do still have a couple of books I want to work through. Unfortunately, we did only very briefly touch GUI development. At least for me this wasn't enough to get starting and we did use Qt Creator on Windows. I only vaguely got a glimpse of how it works from it. And because I prefer the GNOME look and feel I thought I might just a swell start learning that since I didn't actually feel to have a head start on creating GUIs with Qt anyway.you may switch to gtkmm or other tools any time later on. But they are not necessary at all during the learning phase.
