It is almost impressive how much worse a GTK4/Adwaita application is compared to a GTK2 application. I just tried this and it has a fucking hamburger menu in a desktop application. If that ever becomes what is considered "native" on Linux I will abandon it after using it for 25 years.

You are free to take libghostty and create an XApp app runtime for it, or even fork it and do what you want. Just because you don't like something does not make it worse.

Oh, GhostTTY is a great project. I also agree that some flavor of Gnome is the default out of the box on most distros. I'm bemoaning that fact, not the existence of an excellent terminal library and 3 frontends for it that I will never use.
