"Does anyone use a Linux distribution that is no longer supported by it's maker? If so why?"
There was a discussion in the thread about the usage of old releases, see it there. I personally know people who use for example old ubuntu because their hardware is not supported (I know this normally does not happen but it still does in some cases) or too slow with the newer releases. I gues there can be more reasons. The point I was trying to make was that we should know who and on which system uses lazarus so such decisions could be made. I do not have that information. If there is some source from where you know that no one uses lazarus on releases with old gtk just show it and that should solve this issue. :) However, I agree that in general it is a viable policy to align the required version to the officially supported main distros (and of course take advantage of all of it's features). But I think at this point we do not know if the general case applies to lazarus or our user base is different and we should follow a different path (like being compatible with old systems). I hope it is clear now. Krisztián
