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.

Yes, I couldn't agree more. Qt is nice, I use it in my professional work. But for me personally, Gtk is the best toolkit, and this is largely because it is programmed in C, not C++. Also, Gtk has the GObject Introspection framework which allows for other programming languages to connect to the Gtk libraries, so you can code Gtk apps in pretty much whatever language you like best.
And sorry for suggesting you were an AI.
Speaking of using other programming languages with Gtk, I've seen https://github.com/diamondburned/gtkcord4 (Discord client written in GTK4 and Golang)
