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.

i don't know, i just noticed my volume control applet pavucontrol switched to GTK 4 when i updated to debian 13 recently and now it uses more resources than your typical shitty electron app (a volume slider!) and won't respect my system theme.
this has been the trend for a lot of software on linux, both GTK and to an extent Qt with stuff like kirigami and i'm liking my overall experience with desktop linux a lot less than i used to because of it.
