While I was working on a university project with my team, a teammate asked me why the window of the program in my screen was bigger than in his. I simply answered him that his screen was a FullHD one that had a 1920x1080 resolution, while mine had a lower resolution, and he was like "Noo! This isn't a fullhd screen, it's not so sharp".
So I showed him the "1920x1080" sticker right below his screen, and him again "Yeah, it could have this resolution but definitely it's not a FullHD screen".
- Ok, as you say...

The same guy two days ago was talking about creating a GUI in C.
I told him that C was the wrong language to build programs with a GUI, although there's some very old libs that allow you to do that in 16bit.
And him again: "Ok but Linux (distros) do that and the UIs are great!"
- Do you think that all the fucking Ubuntu/Mint/any distro code is written in C??

The funny thing is the arrogance with which he says all these bullshits.

P. S. We are attending the 3rd year of Computer Engineering.

    He has mental issues of he thinks UIs in Linux are good.

    Don't wanna break thy heart, but Gtk actually has support in C, heck gedit code is written in C.
    But yeah, would always prefer python or anything else for GUI.

    Just a side question, do people write code in c/python /java/etc and provide a gui to it in html/css/js? I think the answer is yes, but I'm not sure. Just had this thought after watching a video on tensor board. Mind me, I don't have webdev exp

    @Daveloper. At least for C# yes. The GUI would not be done in C# but in xaml ( in WPF for desktop applications)

    @Daveloper For your side question:
    Java makes use of different sets of internal components for building simple GUIs, like java.awt or javax.swing to more advanced ones like JavaFX. I think that python should have some native libs for that.

    @SmartCoder yeah, I know about swing, tkinter pygobj and pyqt. My question is a bit different.... Leave it, better do proper ducksearch
