wxwidgets 3.0.5 is very outdated and has a lot of bugs, many
programs under wayland do not draw correctly.
Also python-wxpython a buggy package that has a lot of bugs and doesn't work properly with the latest versions of python3, Fedora adds additional patches to work with it. I propose to completely get rid of python-wxpython, no one probably uses it, and the author has not released updates for several years. I think it's worth updating wxwidgets and focusing on supporting modern systems. With new wxwidgets we can build kicad adding parameters to cmake: -DKICAD_SCRIPTING_WXPYTHON=OFF \ -DKICAD_USE_EGL=ON \ |
