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's really rare for a project to completely rewrite to a new toolkit. VLC in circa 2007 did it (moved to Qt - even stole their volume control widget directly from Amarok at the time). GCompris ended up as a KDE project despite originating in Gnome (along with toolkit change, but it weirdly kept the name). LXDE->LXQT also. But I don't actually have that many examples.
audacious too! though oddly enough they've gone back to gtk3 in recent versions alongside their qt version
