### FAQ

##### Why Qt and not GTK?

I tried, but for very fast updates it failed bad on my configuration (failed bad = SIGSEGV), moreover I find Qt5 layout system superior and easier to use.

##### Why gRPC and not DBUS?

The UI service is able to use a TCP listener instead of a UNIX socket, that means the UI service itself can be executed on any 
operating system, while receiving messages from a single local daemon instance or multiple instances from remote computers in the network,
therefore DBUS would have made the protocol and logic uselessly GNU/Linux specific.
