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.

You could use libadwaita
That's gtk.
It is actually a GTK4 theme. You can use GTK4 without libadwaita but not the other way around.
I would say a "superset of gtk" since the point of libadwaita is shipping more widgets targeting Gnome UI/UX (including its theme). That's why they describe it like "Building blocks for modern GNOME applications".
True, but the concept of a theme is easier to understand. You also can run libadwaita on Windows and probably other platforms
