maybe the best and simplest solution would be to not remove gtk2 from debian. the last release is stable and there's no technical reason to remove it (as it still works and compiles just fine), only political ones.

I don't like how political debian has been becoming in a number of facets, I've moved all of my machines over to Ubuntu and Arch and am happier because of it

    Ubuntu is Debian with an additional layer of awkward decision making.

      And hardware compatibility for normies that Debian won't ever support, keyword here is normies.

      And don't forget the Snap crap on it. I moved from Ubuntu to Debian and I'm more happy. I'm using Debian Testing and I find it more stable and less problematic that the Ubuntu (LTS or not)

    You don't like decisions being based on political factors (rather than technical merit I assume, but feel free to correct me) yet you moved to Ubuntu?

    I don't like it either, but that's not the direction I would go. I haven't looked into Arch yet in enough detail to have an informed opinion, but maybe I should.
