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.

Thanks! ☺️
Weirdly I think my preferred theme used to not advise doing it that way, but it seems they have updated their recommendations so now I have two new approaches to try
What is their recommended way?
I think if I remember right it was to use portals to grant file access to the themes folder and then set flags or variables or something to force using the theme you wanted
If you're interested in experimenting with that route I believe I also saw details for that method in various online tutorials for theming flatpacks
