From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is very exciting! I don't use bottles, because I barely game, but for rhose that do, I'm sure this is very exciting! (although some people would not like the Electron part, but hey, at least they are NOT abandoning GTK and will still offer it specifically for those users)
My heart sank upon reading the word "electron" and rose again on the very next paragraph. I'm looking forward to seeing it in action.
Yeah, I don't have that much of a problem with electron, but I would prefer it if we had more non-electron apps on Linux.
I guess people don't realise Qt exists.
And it's so easy to use as a developer! I hate having to think about both GTK and QT themes though. I wish there was a QT equivalent of lxappearance.
That would be qt5ct/qt6ct
Generally the distro should handle that if you're not using something that requires manual intervention. If you are, Kvantum is pretty solid, it provides themes based on Adwaita or Libadwaita, as well as many other themes which KDE uses.
You'll have to set the theme to Kvantum which I think qt5ct and its Qt6 ilk should handle.
I use a tiling window manager on a fairly minimal install of Debian.
Then yeah, qt5ct + qt6ct will help you there. Kvantum will help if you've got a specific theme you want to use.
