AArch64. Slow program start

[paweld]

(This is a subject that can be solved for Lazarus if it would use Qt as default)

You can also disable Wayland - that solves the problem too. The good thing is that everyone can solve it in whatever way is most convenient for them.

As of know I wish you good luck again. I run several Archaeopteris as a free choice.
It is not to make something run, it is about installing legacy systems to make it run.
It is like having FreeDos to run TurboPascal.
Then again, I do the same.....but only if I need to.

It is also not about Linux, but "merely" the window compositor.
And GTK2 will bite everyone at some point.

While I agree that gtk2 is past its "use by date", thats only because replacements exist, there is nothing wrong with gtk2 in and of itself.

My app is shipped via Debian as a Qt5, users do not have a choice, I personally prefer Qt5 too. But I also distribute pre made packages via github.   And users there choose gtk2, three times more downloads than Qt5.

(Interestingly, rpm users seem to prefer Qt6 over Qt5.)
