GTK4 is 98 MB RSS on Linux. Or just 24 MB for GTK3. example-0.c (fits both GTK3 and GTK4) from https://docs.gtk.org/gtk4/getting_started.html

On news there was a message from Siemens about 500 t turbines, which can be transported best only by Rhine.

Ah, that's great! I remember, conditions somewhere were you receive the "treue" bonus after the first year for a 2 year contract. I'm watching how with more sun, oeko-energy price …

I'm missing comparison of FL2 on Gen13 vs Gen12, since this would be a real win (or loss?) from the hardware upgrade. How can they justify the upgrade without this data?

Good to know, thanks!

Very nice looking UI! Powered by forked GTK+ 2 [1]. (First release almost 24 years ago [2]). [1] https://github.com/Ardour/ardour/tree/9.0/libs/tk/ytk [2] https://mail.gnome.org/ar…
