I don't know what GTK means and couldn't find it in the link. Care to share?
Gimp Tool Kit, where gimp means Gnu Image Manipulation Program, where gnu means Gnu's Not Unix. So, in short, gnu's not unix image manipulation program tool kit.
Never realised the G was GIMP... hilarious that its namesake software is lagging so far behind
Thanks!
going to be the party pooper here, but GTK means Gnu Tool Kit. It's a framework to build gui applicatiion.
@bl4kers @allywilson Its a framework for GUI applications.
I mean, I did quote the partial sentence from the link. You can look that up.
