Linux Mint looks to fork more GNOME Apps because of libAdwaita
(blog.linuxmint.com)
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.

No way I'm gonna scroll this 15min article to spot where that's mentioned
TL;DR They want to push even more other desktop environments and distros to use XApps, because a lot of gnome's ex-gtk3 apps now are half-broken and looks alien inside Mint and other distros like Xubuntu.
