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.

It doesn't just resembles QT, it uses QT as backend.
It's worth stating that QT is an optional backend and is only used for native styling, even the pure rust, Native styling still looks close to native. QT is fully optional and is not a dep even for linux apps
Damn, thanks for the tip! So does it support native KDR Styling and all too?
Could in theory Apps like Dolphin be entirely rewritten in Rust, using Slint as Frontend, and still be native in KDE?
From their github:
I'm not that familiar with KDE's styling, but if I remember well it should just be a Qt style, so it should work.
Regarding rewriting Dolphin, I think in theory you could do that, in practice it's probably pretty challenging given the amount of features Dolphin has.
