Debian 10 has a nice gtkd package, stored in libgtkd-3-dev i believe (when i installed it, i installed several packages at once, basically everything that had 'gtkd' as a substring in the package name).

It uses ldmd2 (part of the ldc package).

So it's possible to write and build a gtkd application using only debian packages.

I've done this with debian 10, and it works well imvho.

Although i have not tried it, it looks like ubuntu (20.4 and presumably later) also has a gtkd package.

I'm going to install a new os on a machine, and i'm trying to pick one that has a gtkd package available, so that all the d imports are in standard locations and i don't have to mess with anything.

So debian 10 and ubuntu 20.4 are candidates, but i'm wondering if there are others.  (I tried to find gtkd on linux mint but did not see a package for it, but man i could sure be wrong.)

Thanks in advance for any info!

Or you could use dub and not worry about where its installed.
