Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That's great to see. It has significantly more integration and capabilities than QtWebEngine and it's a shame Qt dropped it.

I hope this gets a Qt6 port sometime.

That might be true, but WebKit anywhere other than safari performed horrible for me.

That's a third party fork, though. By a marketing company.

The official docs say this: "Qt WebEngine supersedes the Qt WebKit module, which is based on the WebKit project, but has not been actively synchronized with the upstream WebKit code since Qt 5.2 and has been deprecated in Qt 5.5."
