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.

Libadwaita should only be used for Apps designed for Gnome So idk if the xmpp client your using is designed for all des or gnome
Before the June update Gajim wasn't related to GNOME at all and worked perfectly fine on my Xfce desktop. The update fully switched to GTK4 + libadwaita, and they also redesigned their website to look exactly like GNOME's.
I suppose they changed their design direction...
oh, so maybe they want to be part of Gnome's app ecosystem i think?
Oh. I thought this was just another case of the consequences of the GNOME-ization of GTK but that... probably they want to became part of GNOME.
