Zrythm is an interesting open-source digital audio workstation (DAW) software package. It’s been making use of the GTK toolkit but now the developers have decided to switch to Qt6 instead.

    Any thoughts on how this compares to Tracktion? That’s been my “linux daw” but haven’t really tried any others

        I can recommend trying it. Used it on my MacOS installation. Free version works great, but I felt the need for some paid features sometimes (more convenient workflow). But you can totally get job done with the free one just fine.

    They are C++ already. If they deigned the application well, a UI toolkit change should not be too bad. Not trivial but manageable.

    I always hate to see apps move off GTK but their first point is about cross-platform and there is just no denying that Qt has a vastly better cross-platform story than GTK does.
